Detail ⇒Recommended book for Shimanami beginners

It was about three years ago when I met Kazunari Utsunomiya for the first time (commonly known as Nari-chan).

About three years ago, I cycled Shimanami Kaido for the first time, and for the first time cycling, I was fascinated by a cycling road that the world cyclist called "Shimanami Kaido" admires

From then on, I wrote such a blog with the thought so that people who do not know Shimanami Kaido will know more the charm of Shimanami.

It was Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya (Nickname Nari-chan) that I met at such time.


I went to ask Kazunari Utsunomiya (Nicknamed Nari-chan) to ask "Please count me in your group".

When I was looking at Shimanami Kaido by various keywords, I met the homepage of NPO called "Cyclotourism Shimanami".

NPO"Cyclotourism Shimanami"'s website

Among them, Kazunari Utsunomiya (commonly known as Nari-Chan) is introduced as a "tour guide" with a face photo.

Looking at the homepage of this NPO corporation "Cruise Tourism Shimanami" seems to be doing various activities in Shimanami Kaido.

Among them, it seems that Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya (called common name chan) is working as a chief staff of the tour guide and the event.

Three years ago, I did not know anything about Shimanami Kaido, "I thought that if you put it in this NPO corporation" Cyclone Tourism Shimanami ", I think that you can learn a lot about Shimanami Kaido" and send an e-mail to the secretariat , "Please put it in a group" asked.

There was a reply mail shortly afterwards, I met with Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya for the first time.

Kazunari Utsunomiya who casually spoke to us (commonly known as Nari-chan)

I do not do something so much that I ask you to send an email to someone you do not know.

So, I visited the secretariat while feeling a bit nervous.

Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya, first known as the secretariat, asked me for the first time to hold me as "high to high ~" while holding elementary school sisters as "senior high ~ high ~" without cheating "I wonder if you have children" "There are only three guys," he answered, "I have not experienced playing with a little girl?" He laughed and said, "Why do not you play with?"

My first impression was that the first impression of Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya (Nickname Nari-chan) was "a person like NHK 's gymnastics young man."

Sisters that have grown considerably since three years ago

By the way, I heard that this is not the daughter of this sister, Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya (Nari-chan), but the daughter of the president of NPO corporation "Cyclone Tourism Shimanami" from now on.

It seems that Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya (Nari-chan) was supposed to be a teacher of elementary school though it thought that it was a person who is good at poor children.


Actually Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya who was a terribly amazing person (Nickname Nari-chan)

Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya actually heard that "a outrageous person who has been traveling around the world for 10 years with riding two-seater bicycles for honeymoon trips" is the time when the event has passed for the first time since we met for the first time was.

Moreover, I heard it from another staff not directly from Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya (Nari-chan).

Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya (Nickname Nari-chan) is such a person who does not say anything such as "I am really amazing" from himself.

This book ↓ ↓ ↓ becomes the second part.

These books can be said to be the two honeymoon unusual things of Issei Kazunari Utsunomiya (Nari-chan) and bride's "Tomo chan".

I also know various things about NPO corporation "Cyclotourism Shimanami" from time to time, and I also know about "Tomo chan", but to be honest "It is not likely to do such a big deal" adult, Quiet little lady "is impressive.

Once Kazunari Utsunomiya (Nari-chan) has told me once, "It's not good thing to stay in one place, I have to move active"

Mr. Kazunari Utsunomiya (Nari-chan) and Tomo-chan's traveling and unreasonableness is fun, so I would like you to read it.
