I'm Japanese. The car navigation first said to Jeremy, "There is a road regulation ahead. Drive carefully, please."
-
In his defense, those man hole covers are fantastic.
-
Ahh, the only kind of videos where you're fine watching it in 360p...

* Completely ignores Hammond * James: What a brilliant looking train
-
Japan: train arrives early = surprised face Britain: train arrives on time = surprised face Latvia: train arrives = surprised face Zimbabwe: a train = surprised face
-
How to ask for directions to the train station in Japanese: Konichiwa, um station? chuggachuggachugga
-
Ha! In Romania, a train is considered late if it doesn't arrive the same day as expected!
-
Everybody's gangsta until the SatNav speaks japanese
-
James was so inspired by Japan, he decided to make an entire series about it
-
SatNav: *Speaking in Japanese* Jeremy: HELP! Oh, Jezza. You will be missed.
-
"Finally I'm out of the tunnel.... SUNLIGHT! It's gone again." XD
-
Car: starts speaking in Japanese Clarkson: "HELP!!!!!" One of the funniest moments I've ever seen.
-
Jeremy Clarkson is the only man that can take a wrong turn driving straight on a Japanese highway and end up in Switzerland.
-
One of my parents is Japanese and she was the first to tell me about the fact that speaking aloud on mobile devices on public transport is seen as very disrespectful and frowned upon in Japan. Being from the UK, I couldn't imagine having the same principles applied to our public transport.
-
3:10 James May really had an eyegasm there. He has a thing for trains and collects models of them.
-
Any time you see "23" or "3923" on a promotional Nissan: 23: Two Three: Nii San aka Nissan 3923: Three Nine Two Three: San Kyu Nii San aka Thank You, Nissan.

Car: speaks Japanese Jeremy *confused screaming"
-
James and Richard experiencing Japan is one of the best things i have ever watched
-
2 fried eggs. That's not what I want.

i saw this episode ages ago but after having studied japanese for a number of years (and after having lived there) it's hilarious to watch them struggle with Japanese. The best part was when they were like "The ice-skating man with the picnic table...but that's a man on skis playing a harp next to it" hahaha exactly how I felt when I first started learning Japanese.
