Planning trip to Tokyo?
If so, then the Japanese broadcaster NHK is running a series called Tokyo Eye 2020, a series for people planning to come to Tokyo for 2020 Olympics, and thus great for any visitor to the city.
It talks about things like how to use the trains, interesting things to see and do - basically things that an English speaking tourist might want to see and do apart from visit the Olympic Games. Covers cultural differences too, places to eat and how to get to them on trains etc. and I am hooked! It is shown on NHK NEWS station in the U.K. on Sky or Virgin, but they also let you watch episodes online: www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/tokyoeye2020/ I also am quite taken with the "typical people" they use to present the shows - most not really suited to public speaking - but that just my opinion of course!

Sounds really good. I and my husband were there the day it was announced that Tokyo had got the 2020 games. It was celebrations all round.

I have watched a lot of these and they are excellent
I would also recommend a you tuber called only in Japan . His videos are fantastic for a look at Japan from a different angle Plus Abroad in Japan is also great as chris broad is a Brit in Japan and he sees it from a British angle and his wit and sarcasm are great

Thanks for the above info I've watched some programmes on NHK, but mostly on cars, will take a look at these.
Also been watching a you tuber called Yukendoit, who is an American living in Tokyo, he travels around & has a few videos on Disney & Universal.
