The annual Japanese Film Festival (JFF) is back with a twist – it’s largely online and it’s all free.
From 4-13 December over 25 films are available to stream for free as part of JFF Plus: Online Festival. Take a cinematic journey and experience the beauty, culture and traditions of Japan.
Here are some ideas to see the other side of Japan:

Ecotherapy Getaway Holiday
Discover the beauty of Myoko City in Niigata Prefecture on a tour to see the autumn colours that doesn’t quite go to plan. It may even inspire you to visit the Phantom Otaki (waterfall) that features in the film.
