Japan’s Cat Island 🇯🇵 Fukuoka’s Cat Heaven, Ainoshima Island, 猫島, Japan Travel Vlog 2024

Spending a day on Japan’s famous cat island (猫島) in Fukuoka!

Known as “Cat Heaven Island” to locals, Ainoshima Island in Fukukoka, Kyushu (相島) is home to over 200 cats who roam freely, circle your feet and brighten up your day. You could tell it was a sweet day for us cat lovers. Even our cat Meng would be proud (or envious?).

Join us as we meet all the Japanese cats we can take on this simple yet special cat island in Fukuoka, Japan!

Make sure to stick around for a hot bowl of Fukuoka’s famous Hakata style ramen at Hakata Issou and some late night Yodobashi Camera and konibini shopping.
