I’ve been to Japan once before and planning a second trip coming this march, this podcast has been my everything leading up to my second trip I feel like I’m so much more well informed and knowledgeable about Japan. This podcast has truly enriched my life. Thank you PB&J
Sightseeing Japan is such a fun and informative podcast! I’m finally fulfilling my lifelong dream of visiting Japan this year at the age of 66 and Jason and Paul are really getting me ready for the adventure. I listen every day and feel like I am sitting in my living room learning and laughing with two good friends. Great job guys! Thank you!
Great podcast, entertaining and informative.
Full of solid information. I listened to to the Fushimi Inari episode while headed to Fushimi Inari. The Kyoto episode inspired me to listen to the Gio-Ji temple. Solid information.
I love Japan as much as you guys do! The podcast is awesome—funny, deep, and really informative. I usually listen while I’m out walking, and it always brings back memories from my past trips. You’ve reminded me of things I missed and given me new ideas for next time. Thanks for the great show—keep it up!
