I feel compelled to write a review.

"When I first saw this video, I thought it was pretty good. Because the presentation is made by a software company, I felt that the cinematography was outstanding, but that the naration sounded like it was from someone that would work at a software company (ie: somewhat nerdy). I had debated whether to show this to some of my mentally ill clients that I work with. I finally opted to show it. To my surprise, they loved it. Comment ranged from "They really packed a lot in an hour", to mentioning about specifics (the snow monkeys, the high tech section, the robots, the gardens, etc.). As a matter of fact, I thought that I would have a difficult time ending the group on time because they were fascinated with the high tech, and cars section. But almost on cue, it ended with a shot of Mt. Fuji. The company may get some more business that they wouldn't have gotten, as several co-workers, and clients asked me where I got it. So (as you can see) this review isn't mine alone, but several people. And considering that a ten spot wont even fill up a car anymore, it makes this video a great getaway. And because it's from a software company, (more than likely) this video will NOT be shown on Discovery, Travel, NG, or any of the other major cable networks. My advice, for the cinematography alone, it's more than worth the ten spot. Get it."

This DVD should be used in world geography/culture classes,

"My husband and I are both Japanese who own a small Japanese restaurant where we serve authentic Japanese cuisine. We started showing (with permission) Japan: Samurai, Geisha & Technology. We constantly receive many wonderful comments.

Our customers who used to live in Japan or have visited Japan are glued to the video and start refreshing many special memories from Japan. Japanese women married with Americans and have lived in the States for many decades could feel homesick. In addition, this bilingual DVD is a wonderful tool for a bilingual study. We hope this DVD will be used in world geography/culture classes, Japanese language classes as well as at home."

Amazing!

"The Japan video was amazing. I have not been to Japan and it definitely makes me want to go. I now know of a few locations that are on my visit list thanks to this DVD.
