The final installment of the travel show “Gyakuryu! Shiraberu Toraberu” (“Against the Current! Investigating and Traveling”; TV Tokyo, Mon., 8 p.m.) spends the bulk of its two-hour running time in the Pashmina region of Nepal, which is famous for its cashmere wool. This wool is produced by a specific species of goat that can only be found deep in the Himalayas, and the reporters go to a great deal of trouble to find these animals.
The program also visits Peru to check out the habitat of another animal, the alpaca, which is popular in Japan thanks to a commercial featuring the llamalike quadruped. Finally, it’s off to Turkey and a tomato cannery that exports the bulk of its product to Japan.
