Meanwhile in Japan
Honestly such a cute and fun show. It also does a good job of highlighting the culture difference. Not that the Japanese parents expect their kids to get across town on their own, but they do expect their infrastructure to be pedestrian-friendly and safe.
Note that while there are certain things that young children can do in Japan because it's a generally safe society, that show is almost completely contrived. There's no cultural ethos of "the first errand" that your ~5 year old is tasked with doing as a mark of a stage of life.
Cute show but the concept itself is as real as most reality TV in the states.
