Aoshima Island is one of the most famous “cat islands” in Japan (yes, there is more than one. Actually, about a dozen).<\/p>\n

In this place, there are more feline residents than people (the ratio is about six to one). In Aoshima, there are more than a hundred cats living around this\u00a01 mile (1.6\u00a0km) long island.<\/p>\n

It’s located in Ehime Prefecture and\u00a0is accessible via a one-way boat from Port Nagahama, which takes around 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Here’s a gallery of amazing images<\/a>, which take you directly to Aoshima, the Japanese “cat island”.<\/p>\n
