About Japan with Sue Perkins:

Sue Perkins explores a country caught between ancient tradition and dazzling technology: Japan.

It's often described as a futuristic city and technological mecca.

But, Japan is also steeped in tradition.

Sue visits Tokyo, with its neon digital displays, thronging population and bullet-fast trains.

She travels to the mountainous villages, and meets the artisans finding new ways to preserve ancient traditions.

The rift between age-old traditions and new-age technology is widening, as the country strives to honour its past - and embrace the future.
