猫好きにはたまらない、猫の島で有名な青島へ行ってまいりました。人懐っこい猫たちにとても癒されました。
Aoshima (青島 Aoshima), also known as Cat Island (猫の島 Neko no shima), is an island in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, known for its large number of feline residents. Felines outnumber humans by a ratio of approximately 10:1. They were introduced on ships in the area, but remained on the island and vastly repopulated.
The island is roughly 1 mile (1.6 km) long. It was formerly part of Nagahama in Kita District, but, as of 2005, is part of Ōzu.
