Overview

Take a unique tour to Ainoshima Island, just 8 km off the coast of Fukuoka Prefecture, known as “Cat Island.” This remote paradise is home to friendly stray cats that roam freely. On the guided ferry ride from the Kyushu mainland, enjoy scenic views before arriving to see cats lounging by the harbour.

While the cats are not domesticated, they are sociable and enjoy interacting with visitors, though feeding them is prohibited. Explore the peaceful island and connect with its feline residents, all while enjoying the tranquil port-town atmosphere. With few tourists, now is the perfect time to visit this hidden gem in Fukuoka.

Activity itinerary

Ainoshima Island
  • 3h
Take a ferry to Ainoshima Island, located 8 km off the coast of Fukuoka Prefecture. Explore the island, which is home to a large population of cats, and see the cats relaxing in the harbour. Meet your guide at the ferry terminal and board the ferry to Aijima Island. Enjoy the maritime scenery as you cruise to the island. When you get off the boat, see many cats relaxing in the harbour. Although they are not domesticated cats, they are very friendly and approachable. Crouch down to get a closer view of them and be amused to see them relaxing with their faces close to yours or showing you their bellies. However, please note that feeding the cats is prohibited. Enjoy the scenery of a port town on a remote island while interacting with these cats. The island has only recently begun to attract the attention of tourists. However, the island's advantages are still not well known.
