This blue-chip series from the Natural History Unit explores the rich and varied landscapes of Japan, showcasing one of the most iconic natural landscapes on the planet.
Narrated by Michelle Dockery, the series reveals a nation of more than 6000 Pacific islands, full of surprises and places where nature thrives: from the far north, where giant eagles walk on frozen seas, to the subtropical southern islands, with coral reefs and erupting volcanoes; and the mountainous central island, home to spectacular displays of cherry blossom, monkeys bathing in hot pools, bears stalking the forests - and more than 100 million people.
Each episode explores how life survives across these wildly diverse islands, dominated by forested mountains, volcanic forces and powerful seas, arctic winters and tropical, typhoon ravaged summers; and reveals the unusual and unexpected relationships between human characters and the wild.
Japan: Earth’s Enchanted Islands will reveal the wild side of Japan that the viewers might never have imagined.
