Now, this is the life…or at least it seems like it. Daisuke Nagasawa is a cat lover and a traveler. So he combined his two interests and he travels all over Japan with his two faithful companions, Daikichi and Fuku-Chan.

The trio has traveled all over Japan for the last 8 years and visited over 1,000 destinations. How’d he get started on the epic adventure? Well, Fuku-Chan was misbehaving in pet care to the point where the place wouldn’t take the cat in anymore, so Nagasawa decided he would just take both of his cats on a trip around Japan.

The cats like to travel in a stroller or in Nagasawa’s backpack.

Take a look at this group on some of their excellent adventures!

1. Fuku-Chan

⛄❄Daikichi was born and brought up in the wild and frozen northeastern part of Hokkaido Island, so he never minds cold weather and snow.??
