Daisuke Nagasawa has two cats – 13-year-old Daikichi and seven-year-old Fuku-Chan who have been traveling with him in his bike basket, backpacks, and leads.
The trio has visited major landmarks, including Mount Fuji, the cherry blossom gardens of Kyoto and the ‘Floating’ Torri gate in Hiroshima.
After the cat sitters complained about the cats’ behaviour during their owner’s absences during his long business trips, Daisuke decided to travel with them and also started an Instagram page (@the.travelling.cats) where he shares their journeys.
One of the footage that was shared on their Instagram page shows Daikichi meeting his rescuer Kaiko at Lake Akan in Hokkaido after a decade who saved him from an extremely cold winter season in Hokkaido.
The reunion was heartwarming and the video instantly went viral after it was posted online.
The cats and their owner have become Internet sensations after they started their Instagram page. The trio has also appeared on two TV programs and two radio programs.
Daisuke said: ‘“2019 has been great for us. So excited to have two kinds of our travel photo books published. We appear on two TV programs and two radio programs so far, and we had never been expected such lucky things would happen before.”
Daisuke says the beach called Kinenhama in Tokunoshima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture was their favourite destination this year. The cats walked without leashes on the beach and enjoyed the journey thoroughly.
“Our favourite destination this year was the beach called Kinenhama in Tokunoshima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture. It exactly looked like Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia. The cats enjoy walking by themselves even without leashes, but normally we never allow them to do that for the security reasons”, Daisuke added.
In 2020, the trio is ready to travel up to the Southernmost islands in Okinawa Prefecture.
Daisuke said: “We’ll start to travel up to the Southernmost islands in Okinawa Pref from the beginning of 2020. And in Summer the Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo, so we’d like to report the best sightseeing sports for visitors in Tokyo area.”
