Popular Japanese TV characters Gachapin and Mukku recently visited Rota where they shot an episode of a show that will soon air in Fuji TV Kids.
According to Pacific Development, Inc. general manager Gordon Marciano, Gachapin and Mukku was welcomed well by Rota students and the rest of the island’s community.
“The Rota community was very happy to know Gachapin and Mukku have made Rota their destination for fun in the sun and as a relaxing place to visit,” he said.
Rota Mayor Joseph Inos presented Gachapin and Mukku with Rota’s highest honor by bestowing on them the Tourism Ambassadors Award. He also asked both television characters to help promote the island as an ideal destination for Japanese tourists.
Gachapin and Mukku made several stops in Rota’s famous sites and will broadcast their visit to Rota on Fuji TV Kids, which has over 30,000,0000 viewers nationwide in Japan.
“They wanted to share with everyone the pristine and beautiful beaches and sights of Rota, they also planted a coconut tree as part of their way of respecting nature as well as asked everyone to continue to preserve the flora and fauna of Rota. They said their visit to Rota has been an adventure they won’t easily forget. Gachapin and Mukku also thanked the many students and children that welcomed them,” said Marciano.
Gachapin and Mukku also danced the night away at the Chamorro Village under the stars and were invited to the San Isidro Fiesta to celebrate with everyone in Sinapalo.
Marciano said Gachapin and Mukku vowed to return to the CNMI’s northernmost part in August to take part in another adventure tour of Rota.
While Gachapin and Mukku were visiting Rota, PDI was moving on their announcement for KNT’s second charter flights schedules for 2009-2010 for Rota, as Marciano and fellow general manager Masanori Takahashi met with partners in the tourism industry along with the Rota community, Rota Arts Council, and its non-profit groups to confirm the date of the second charter flights.
