Overview

About 150 cats live among the 500 people that call the small island of Ainoshima home. That home is located a 20-minute ferry ride from Shingu port on the coast of Kyushu island in Western Japan. Most of them are feral (but friendly), some of them have collars, but they’ve definitely made the place their own.

Highlights

Ainoshima Island
Ainoshima is an island in Shingū, Fukuoka, Japan. Many feral cats and strays live on this island. Hence, it is known as "Cat Heaven Island"
Kushida Shrine
Kushida-jinja is a Shinto shrine located in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka, Japan. Dedicated to Amaterasu and Susanoo, it is said to have been founded in 757. The Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival is centered on the shrine.
Tochoji Temple
Tōchō-ji is a Shingon temple in Hakata, Fukuoka, Japan. It was founded by Kūkai in 806, making it the oldest Shingon temple in Kyushu. According to tradition, Kūkai or Kobo-Daishi set up this temple when he came back from China and prayed for the eastward dissemination of Tantric Buddhism. It was originally situated in the seaside area. After it burned down at the end of the 16th century it was relocated to the present site by Kuroda Tadayuki, the second lord of Chikuzen province. The second, the third, and the eighth lord of the Kuroda family are buried here.
