Hospitality and friendliness are not only found in cats, but also the people on the island are very gentle and kind.

"It's nice that so many people come here to play with the cats, whether it's Japanese or foreign guests, they come to make everyone feel happy," said a bit shy of a resident. people on the island.

On the west side of the island there is a "Cat Feeding Area" and there are regulations visitors should be aware of. Sometimes while taking pictures you may want to feed the cats on the spot. But here is a rule to only feed the cat in the designated area, so remember to note.
