Did anyone else notice that the narrator changed for the second episode? On Disney+, the narrator for the first and third episode was American, and the one for the second episode was British.

Great images, but turn off the sound and subtitles

The imagery is great, but you'll be better off listening to your own music than listening to the script/commentary which is like a collection of Tweets of cliches about Japan rather than a flowing dialogue with any substance.
Pronunciation
elderghod13 July 2021
Awe inspiring cinematography. Good writing. High production value - all ruined by the annoying white narrator who doesn't even try to pronounce the place names and Japanese words properly. Very disappointing. Alternatively, the similar series on India uses an all Indian cast and crew and the show is a much more impressive production.
Lovely photography, but annoying narration

The photography is beautiful and covers the expected tourist hot-spots, as well as a number of less familiar areas. The aerial approach has the advantage of providing a fresh perspective, while avoiding a couple of negatives of popular tourist destinations: crowds and traffic jams.
The narrator is annoying, though. Especially his habit of adopting a fake Japanese accent to read place names, but still messing up the pronunciation because no one seems to have thought it necessary to sit down and explain the basics of Japanese pronunciation.
