  We discuss Hawking radiation from a five-dimensional squashed Kaluza-Klein
black hole on the basis of the tunneling mechanism. A simple manner, which was
recently suggested by Umetsu, is possible to extend the original derivation by
Parikh and Wilczek to various black holes. That is, we use the two-dimensional
effective metric, which is obtained by the dimensional reduction near the
horizon, as the background metric. By using same manner, we derive both the
desired result of the Hawking temperature and the effect of the back reaction
associated with the radiation in the squashed Kaluza-Klein black hole
background.
