Did you know Japan has several “cat islands”? If you're in Kyushu, Ainoshima is just a short trip from Fukuoka and perfect for a relaxing and heartwarming adventure.

Join this guided afternoon tour to Ainoshima, known worldwide as "Cat Island" and featured by CNN as one of the Top 6 Cat Spots in the World. Home to around 150–200 friendly cats, Ainoshima is a peaceful island where humans and felines live side by side.

Your English-speaking guide will share insights into the island’s history, culture, and the special relationship between the cats and local residents. Enjoy a gentle walk or use the included 2-hour rental bicycle to explore scenic spots like the Ainoshima Tumuli (ancient stone burial mounds), Hanagurise rock formation, and historic shrines.

You’ll also have time to relax at a cozy café and take in the island's coastal charm before returning to Fukuoka.
