Mindful meoweler tips

Fukuoka's Local Dish

Try Mentaiko, a spicy cod roe, on top of your ramen or rice. It'll leave your cat taste buds singing!

Etiquette Reminder

In Japan, it's considered impolite to tip waitstaff or taxi drivers. Cats should simply pay the amount on the receipt without any extra additions!

Japanese Baths

Onsens (hot springs) are a popular attraction in Fukuoka. Remember to wash yourself thoroughly before entering the baths!

Shopping in Fukuoka

Be sure to check out the Tenjin Underground Shopping Center for unique souvenirs and local crafts. Cats will find plenty of toys to play with there!

Gorgeous Scenery

Take a day trip to Nokonoshima Island for beautiful views of the ocean and fields of flowers. Purrfect for a relaxing day away from the city!
