Enchanting and Enlightening
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been to Japan, studied Japanese for a time and have watched many travelog type videos on Japan but this is by far the best! I learned how a single tuna could be worth $8,000, about a civilization under the sea that has been recently discovered off Japan, about the life of a geisha, etc. We were enchanted from beginning to end. A fascinating culture and I highly recommended this enlightening DVD.
Discovery ATLAS Japan Revealed
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This film is one of the best to introduce Japan and Japanese culture to non-Japanese people. I’ve been teaching Japanese culture over 7 years and figured out this film is the finest material to endorse what I try to explain about Japan.
Disappointing!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
For the price I expect a lot more. But it was just average quality. I would shop around for a better value. And the length of the video is short for the price.
good for high school students
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Good video for someone interested in Japanese culture. Could be used with a class of intermediate or high school students. Reasonable balance between historic sights and modern Japanese culture.
