My sixth episode of NHK World's 'Journeys in Japan' aired at the end of last month. This time, rather than me just being me, I was exploring Tochigi in the guise of the time-travelling 19th Century diplomat, Sir Ernest Satow.

Shaved off the beard and grew a moustache for the role. (The beard is back, now)
