Abroad in Japan

Chris Broad's Abroad in Japan provides the definitive foreigner perspective on Japanese culture for 3 million subscribers, surpassing most guidebooks with its detailed cultural explainer videos. With 10+ years in Japan, his Cycle Japan series and Train Series offer the best introduction to the country, funnier than any documentary and more practical than #1's global vlogs. In 2026, his coverage of AI tourism in Japan includes an episode on robot hospitality in Tokyo hotels, where costs are 20% lower than human-staffed alternatives, and the overcrowding crisis at Mount Fuji, where visitor numbers hit 3 million in 2025. This blend of deep cultural knowledge and contemporary relevance turns millions of viewers into Japan obsessives, providing both historical context and up-to-date data for travelers planning trips.
