Abroad in Japan
British creator exploring Japan through culture, food, long-form travel videos
Culture & PeopleTravel TipsAbout Abroad in Japan
Started on April 7, 2012, this channel is run by a British creator making long-form videos about life and travel in Japan. It has grown to more than three million two hundred ninety thousand subscribers and over six hundred twelve million views across 339 videos. Uploads come at roughly one to two videos per month. The channel mixes documentary-style deep dives, personal vlogs and food features, covering topics from train travel and regional culture to budgeting and unusual local stories around Japan.
This channel feels like a smart, funny guidebook to modern Japan. We appreciate the blend of sharp cultural essays and hands-on travel reporting - episodes range from practical tips to cinematic explorations. The channel is especially strong on must-watch entries like "12 Things NOT to do in Japan" and immersive pieces such as the first-class overnight train video. Posting about one to two videos a month, it rewards viewers who enjoy thoughtful, well-edited long-form travel content rather than rapid-fire clips.
