Video Description:
Humans are outnumbered by cats 6 to 1 on Tashirojima. The small island island survived a devastating tsunami in 2011. Superstitious people believe the numerous cats - which are considered lucky in Japan - protected Tashirojima from the tsunami.
Cats were originally brought to the island during the Edo Period to protect silk-worms - which were raised for the the textile industry - from mice.
Now a modern campsite featuring adorable cat-shaped cabins is available for use during Summer months.
Parts of this area - Miyagi Prefecture - are still being rebuilt after the tsunami. Ishinomaki is the departure point for Cat Island. Ishinomaki is a city famous for manga; the downtown area is a must-see for otakus (fans of comic books and anime).
Special thanks to YouTuber Flying Violett for appearing in this video! And for bringing stacks of tuna!
