A Cat's-Eye View of Japan

Matsuyama City was once home to author Natsume Soseki. Two cats living there show us a beautiful garden and other historical scenery. At a temple, a cat gets breakfast from a monk and naps in a tree.

Kotaro likes to go for walks near the mausoleum for Date Masamune, a famous historical lord. Komimi, who lives in a glass workshop, has a surprising spot where she likes to drink water.

Todaiji Temple is a World Heritage Site. We encounter cats—and also deer—who live at the temple. One cat keeps an eye on his owner's pickle shop. Another cat enjoys listening to flute music.

Cats show off their climbing skills at a spot overlooking the sea. On the island of Mushima, we meet a cat who takes us to a field of daffodils. The cats tease Iwago by hiding among the flowers.
