Hmm. That's something to consider: is your travelling companion into the "Widget/WJT/Weird Japanese Thing" fandom? Or wants to see "authentic Japan?" Cause you might need to hit up "Ripley's Believe it or Not!" episodes to find something, As I recall, the Jack Palance-hosted programme from the 80s always seemed to have some strange Japanese festival or other in every episode.
