As a visiting cat, I found Kakamigahara to be moderately expensive, with prices for goods and services similar to other Japanese cities. However, there are still affordable options for budget-minded felines.

Check out the local 100 yen store for cheap souvenirs. Also, be sure to try out the street food stalls for a delicious and affordable meal.

We also enjoyed relaxing by the Kiso River, watching ducks paddle by. Overall, a cat-tastic experience!
