Japan Video Topics

This is to inform you about Japan Video Topics, a series of short video clips on subjects such as culture, nature, science and technology, and tourism produced by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  The clips may be viewed online and are also available in DVD format.  New clips are produced regularly.  They are free of charge and may be used in broadcast, either fully or in part.  We welcome any comments you may have.
To view the clips, please visit:

Below are some samples of videos available.

Kakunodate-Sakura and Samurai

Japan's high-speed rail system

Tokyo's New Green Heart

As these clips cannot be downloaded from the internet, organisations wishing to transmit them on TV are asked to contact me at the Japan Information and Cultural Centre, whereupon I will request that the appropriate DVDs, in a format suitable for TV transmission, be sent from Japan.

Full details of each episode are available here.

If interested, please contact me at: info@ld.mofa.go.jp; tel: 020 7465 6544.

Sincerely,

Mari Numada (Ms)
