“I commute to Alaska every summer due to my deep passion toward the battle with King Salmon in the Alaskan Wilderness. I normally fish at Lake Creek off Yentna River, staying at Riversong Lodge as my base. I target 1.2m class Kings in this river. This is the river that brings many different types of fish and that never tire us from fishing. At Riversong Lodge, the wonderful owner family and staff are all working hard to fulfill fishermen’s needs and satisfy us all every time. The meals at the lodge are truly delicious, especially my favorite gourmet lunch at the river bank. In Japan, you can never experience such unique style hospitality like this. That is the reason I come back to Riversong Lodge every year.”
