Japanese Islands from Above

Directed by Hiroshi Ashikaga

For the first time, this awe-inspiring special bring us on an aerial tour of many of Japan's most stunning isles. From those with storied histories on which the first Christian missionaries sheltered, to craggy volcanic outcrops and those made up of crisscrossing formations of bridges, and even to maritime fortresses buttressing the nations' metropole, we explore the fascinating stories and unique ways of life that make these islands the bedrock of Japan' cultural identity.
