Explore This Cat Island Close to Tokyo

While Japan has 11 cat islands many of them are located far away from Tokyo. Cat lovers close to the city don’t have to miss out, though, with an island in Kanagawa Prefecture, located roughly an hour away from Shinagawa Station, being home to a cute cat population of its own.

Part of the fun of visiting the park is searching for and discovering the cats hiding around the area. On a fine day, though, we imagine the cats would prefer to lie around in the sunshine, making them much easier to spot.

Located at the tip of the island, the park overlooks the sea, making it an ideal place to explore the rocky coastline. After enjoying everything the park has to offer, and bidding farewell to the felines who probably couldn’t care less, head off to catch the last bus back to the mainland.
