Kotaro Koizumi and Muro Tsuyoshi travel through Gunma
In the second part of the Fuji TV variety program ‘Kotaro Koizumi & Muro Tsuyoshi’s Free-Spirited Two-Person Trip,’ the two longtime friends travel through Gunma Prefecture. The episode features various activities including visiting Konnyaku Park, exploring Gunma Safari Park, and staying at the high-end ryokan Senju-an.
A central highlight of the journey is the attempt to catch the elusive and large char (iwana) in the Tone River mountain streams. The duo describes the trek through rugged terrain to reach the fishing spots as more grueling than their previous experience fishing for marlin in Okinawa. The program also features surprise guests and showcases local landmarks such as Fukiware Falls.
