Miyagi · Tashirojima 🐱

The most famous, but a bit commercialized 💰 ✨ Rating: ★★★☆☆ ⚠️ The island is huge, but many areas are abandoned. It once had thriving industries that were destroyed by natural disasters and never fully recovered. ⚠️ Cats are scattered across the island. There are cat shrines and other attractions, but there are many rules. Feeding cats is not allowed, and interactions are limited. The local residents aren’t particularly fond of tourists. ⚠️ Some shops confine cats as a way to make money. ⚠️ There are guesthouses, but they aren’t highly recommended. ⚠️ There are two ports, but ferry schedules are limited—one only has three round trips per day. *Thanks for the heads-up! 👉 Ideal for: Those interested in “cat island culture” who are willing to accept strict rules and aren’t keen on feeding cats. The large size of the island allows for a well-planned 1-2 day trip. #CatIsland 🐱🌟
