Stepping the World - Japan - Kyoto

Kyoto, Japan

Hall invades Kyoto, home of the Japanese film industry... Is Movie Land. The home of the 'shogun', ready for our rotund raconteur we ask? The make-up department is for sure!

After a day in Nara, Japans most ancient town, the crew is all templed out but the pictures are stunning.

The Gion Festival is Japan's biggest. Richard watches nervously as huge floats trundle through the streets with no steering wheels and at least fifty people ringing bells on board. How do they do that? Check out Stepping the World and your man on the spot will reveal all.

The Kyoto Station is under construction in this video, so it was filmed around 1995-96.

Personally, I would've liked to see a bit more of the city life in Kyoto, instead of JUST the ancient history parts. I'm moving to Kyoto next year to study Japanese, but frankly, I'm not very interested in history. I'm much more interested in the modern Japanese society, which is part of the reason I'm going there. ^^

How long ago was this documentry made, btw? If I had to guess, I'd say this was recorded at least 7-8 years ago. Does anyone know?

Living and particularly working in Japan does present some challenges however. Japan is still very nationalistic. So, to that extent, you'll always be a foreigner, despite your best efforts. If you're prepared to accept that, you'll be fine!

Japan is truly a beautiful country with an intriguing culture. Always something to discover.

Just remember, you're a guest, and always will be. So act accordingly.

Good luck!

An unusual question, I must say.

No, the japanese, as a people, don't hate americans or christians. As a matter of fact, every here and there, one can find christian churches. In Japan, religion is a much more private affair than in the United States, and it's clearly not as politicized. Just don't flaunt it. Keep it to yourself, as they do.
