Shows like Why Did You Come to Japan? (YOUは何しに日本へ？) send camera crews to airports to interview foreigners and then follow them home. It is heartwarming, chaotic, and reveals the quirks of Japanese culture through the eyes of tourists.

Genre: Sci-Fi / Survival Thriller The Hook: Tokyo is empty. Three friends find themselves in a parallel world where they must play deadly games to survive. This is Japan’s answer to Squid Game (though it came first). The production value on Netflix is cinematic. The games are pure logic puzzles mixed with action horror. It is faster, weirder, and more philosophical than its Korean cousin. dass341+javxsubcom021645+min+top

Genre: Anthology / Comfort The Hook: A tiny diner in a red-light district opens from midnight to 7 AM. The master has no menu; he makes whatever you ask for. This is the most "anti-drama" drama. It is quiet, slow, and episodic. Each episode, a different customer comes in (a stripper, a porn star, a lonely boxer) and we learn their story through the food they order. It is pure comfort viewing for anxious nights. Shows like Why Did You Come to Japan
