The Unsettling Reality of of Japanese Cults!

In this episode of the "Abroad in Japan" podcast, Chris Broad and Pete Dawson discuss a range of topics, starting with their recent activities: Chris's trip to Osaka and Pete's hangover. They delve into the visual appeal of Osaka compared to Tokyo, particularly the older signage and photography opportunities. The conversation shifts to a listener's story about being approached by cult members in Aomori, which leads to a broader discussion about cults in Japan and Dogen's video on anti-foreigner sentiment and its connection to the Unification Church. They also touch on North Korea's recent ballistic missile launch and potential interception capabilities. Finally, they address listener questions about finding good tea in Japan and the story behind the ceramic nose and ear in Pete's background.
