What happens when a journalist deeply rooted in the rural West Country finds himself in the heart of the world's most populous metropolis? In this episode of Adventures in Journalism, Martin Hesp trades the damp hills of Somerset for the neon-lit labyrinth of Tokyo.
Martin isn't just following the tourist trail; he’s meeting up with old friend and Somerset native Adam Kennedy, who has called Tokyo home for nearly two decades. Together, they delve into the "real" Tokyo—exploring how a city of millions maintains its unique soul, the fascinating cultural quirks of Japanese life, and what it’s like for a West Countryman to navigate a sprawling Asian mega-city.
Whether you're planning a trip to Japan or simply enjoy a "travel guide for the soul," join Martin for an immersive audio journey through one of the most culturally rich cities on Earth.
