Special Visitor on a Sunny Friday afternoon July 23 2011, 10:05am via j-sekka.com

Yesterday we had a very special guest at J-Sekka named Christoph.  He was a beautiful Russian Blue kitty-cat!  The delightful little neko-chan was with his owner and staying in Niseko for a while … a little retreat from Tokyo.  Turns out Christoph is 10 years old, which as the owner said he is an Oji-san, or grandpa.

They enjoyed a nice, spicy ginger ale on the balcony this warm Friday afternoon.  We really hope to see them again before they head home to Tokyo!  Christoph was very inquisitive around the firewood pile …  and although a little timid, was very friendly and certainly got plenty of attention from the customers, and staff.
