Bura Tamori (ブラタモリ, sometimes stylized as "BURATAMORI") is a Japanese weekly geographical TV series which was broadcast domestically on NHK General Television and internationally on NHK World Premium hosted by Tamori from 2008 to 2024.

In the program, Tamori, accompanied by NHK's female broadcaster,^[1] strolled Japan's city or area with professional or amateur geologists, local historians or curators, and explored the place's terrain features and geological changes, as well as its history, culture and civil engineering. The title came from the Japanese word 'burabura' ブラブラ, meaning wandering about, rambling, or strolling around.

The first three series of the program were broadcast late at night. In those series, Tamori could visit only within the Tokyo Metropolitan Area or in its vicinity as he was extremely busy hosting the TV program Waratte Iitomo! every weekday. In Series 4, it became a regular program to be aired on Saturdays from 7:30–8:15 p.m., covering nationwide. Its viewership was consistently over 10% from 2015, contributing to the program being one of NHK's highest viewership programs.

The program also published books for some episodes that were available at major Japanese bookstores.^[2][3][4]
