In the first half of this episode, Jordan goes on a bit of a rant about the types of clothing to wear in Japan in summer before giving some background information (size, population, famous places, etc.) about Mie Prefecture in central Japan. Then in the second half, Jordan goes on to describe the lesser-known places in Mie (especially in the southern areas of the prefecture) where you can experience authentic rural Japan. Finally, in this week's English Tips segment, Michael (the Fox) and Jordan (the Tanuki) talk about the words "actual" and "actually" and how they are different.
