Who goes this time??


This is Yoshihiro and he has gentle smile and attitude :)
I seeing he hold a penguin in this picture but I found he looks similar to penguin
somehow.....not so tall and the way his walks....
I guess.....maybe......he comes from 'Penguin Republic' :p

Name: Yoshihiro Kikugawa
Home Town: Shizuoka
Language:English, Japanese
Country traveled: Many countries in Asia, Europe, and South America
Favorite place in the trip : Hokkaido(Japan), China, Thailand
My home town is located in middle part of Japan, called "Shizuoka" prefecture.
It is one of the most beautiful cities in Japan and Mt. Fuji locates there.
The climate there is pretty moderate, and orange, Japanese tea, and sushi are the famouse food in the city.
Please taste food and have a good view in Shizuoka!

I have been interested in music and illustration since I was little.
I sometimes compose or arrange music and draw illustrations for my friends.

By the way, are you interested in Japanese food or Asian massage?
While traveling abroad, I cooked Japanese food for other travelers and learned
massage in Thailand.
I can tell you how to cook Japanese food and heal your tiredness, which comes
from your hard life.

I have been working in Hokkaido, Hakone, Kyoto and Osaka before.
I would be very happy if you ask me about those places in case you have plan
to visit there.

Needless to say, I like travel.
I love meeting new people and learning about new countries!

Hello?☆
Who likes to drink?
When we finished our job, we saw some of our guests chatting in our cafe. So we just joined them☆
Finally, it was some party with Japanese Sake.

Unfortunately, the terrace seat closes at 11:30pm, but , don't worry, you still can drink in the smoking seat or inside cafe till the morning.

Just as information, our cafe serves not only beer but also some "sake", wine and coocktail.
We have bottled sake in small bottles, so you can buy it as a souvenior to your country.
If you can't drink but your mate ask you to drink, don't worry, we have variety of fruit juce, soda, tea, coffee and so on.

Congratulations☆,

CIMG0870.jpg


Surprisingly, they have traveled Japan from south to north on their own bicycles
brought from Canada.
They started traveling from Fukuoka prefecture located south of Japan,
and they cycled across the bridge to Shikoku island and kept pedaling toward
Sendai prefecture located north of Japan.
They stopped also at some famous places like Nikko(it's a world heritage sight).
Finally, they have reached their goal and that was our hotel in Tokyo!!
I am really glad to meet you two and we are very glad your goal was our hotel ;).

Please have a good rest at our hotel before you go back home.

Let's track their road !

Let's dig in!!

Hokke 002.jpg

One day Sariko told me that why don't we go to Izakaya(Japanese style bar)
because there is a nice Izakaya which serves really big roast fish
called 'HOKKE'.(sorry we can't find their English name)
It's one of popular dishes at Izakaya because of tasty.
I really like fish meals so I said 'why not☆'

On the menu, we can choose 'half size' or 'whole' and can you guess which we decided?
Of course...'whole.....why not!!'

Chef and staff were surprized and asked that we can eat all up surely??
We said just........'why not!'
And?.........................1 hour later....
