Japan: it might just be the weirdest, most wonderful place on Earth. It's so foreign and yet so familiar; so confusing, and yet so much fun. Japan is everything from onsen baths to robot restaurants; Shingon temples to punk rock clubs. There's so much there to try to wrap your head around, so much that's surprising and different and new.

On this episode of Flight of Fancy: The traveller.com.au podcast, we're talking Japan. We're delving deep into all of the things that make this amazing country tick. We're going to tell you what to do when you visit, where to go, what to eat, where to drink, what to see, what to say… And what to do when it all goes wrong.

Joining host and unashamed Japanophile Ben Groundwater are two guests who are similarly obsessed with the Land of the Rising Sun: the host of the SBS TV show Destination Flavour and goodfood.com.au columnist, Adam Liaw, and traveller.com.au writer Nina Karnikowski. Together, the trio are aiming to shed light on one of the world's truly great travel destinations.
