Mindful meoweler tips

The Onsen Experience

Cat visitors should be aware of the proper etiquette when visiting onsen (traditional hot springs). Remember to wash paws before entering and keep them out of the water. No towels in the hot springs!

Nasu Animal Kingdom

This is a must-see for cat travelers. Animal lovers will enjoy interacting with hundreds of animals, including kangaroos, capybaras, and more. Don't miss the bird and sea lion shows!

Foodie Fun

Nasushiobara is famous for its yuba (tofu skin) dishes and other local specialties. Cat visitors should try yuba soba or yuba gyoza for a taste of the area's culinary culture.
