Five Feline-Filled Japanese Destinations For Cat Lovers
While it’s not the most easily-accessible destination in Japan, requiring an hour-long ferry ride from Ishinomaki to visit, the island of Tashirojima is one of the most incredible pitstops for cat lovers in all the nation. In the 1600s, Tashirojima was home to a large silk industry, and cats were used to prevent mice from eating the resident insects. In the modern era, the pets have proliferated all across the island, with several hundred felines now calling the docks home. While there aren’t a whole lot of amenities to enjoy around Tashirojima, newcomers can pay a visit to the local cat shrine and—of course—snap some photos of the adorable residents.
