Please note that there are few ferries from Ishinomaki! You can walk around the island, but it's a pretty good exercise. There is a cat right from the ferry terminal. It's an island rich in nature, so you can take a leisurely stroll! There are few cafes and shops, so don't have to worry about eating and drinking!

It is an island famous for its full of cats. It is one of the famous islands on Nekojima in various parts of Japan. It's a fun place because there are many cats that I miss as soon as I got off the ferry terminal.
If you happen to be in Miyagi Prefecture, you can go to Cat Island if you want to go to Cat Island, but after the tsunami, Tiandai Island is really deserted, and there is a feeling of no one on an isolated island. If you really go to Cat Island, I think it may be better to go to Aiyu Prefecture. According to everyone's experience, everyone must buy a round-trip ticket to be optimistic about the time, don't go back. This island is not commercial at all, so remember to bring something to eat because there is no restaurant and no food, only the vending machine can buy and drink, and then there is no car, the whole walk. There are still a lot of cats, remember to bring some small fish. We didn't disembark at the big berth because of the wave problem. I don't know if it's better there. There will be food. But if you go in the morning, you can disembark and cross the whole island and take the boat back. Don't go the repeat road.
The scenery on the island is really great, and the cats are even more cute. Everyone praised a lot, and talked about a few precautions to go to the island. First of all, the boat on the island has only 3 classes per day except for midsummer. If you want to return that day, you have to take the boat at 9 am anyway. If you leave from Sendai, you must do the train of Senshi Line at 6:32, otherwise you will definitely not have time to catch up. There is only one restaurant on the island (Tadai Island Cat Republic) and two vending machines that are confirmed to be available. Although dining is not a problem, it is best to buy other supplies (water, sanitary products, etc.) in advance. It should be noted that there is no convenience store along the way from Shijuan Station to Shijuan Port. The only convenience store is in Shijuan Station. Be sure to buy anything there. If you use google maps, you will be prompted to have a family mart on that road. The reality is that the store has been demolished this year. The mobile base station on the island only supports NTT docomo. Mobile phones can be supported, and some Japanese mobile wifi has no signal. Although there are paved roads on the island, the mountains are steep. Prepare for some effort. The Tandai Island Cat Republic on the top of the island can eat and rest. The island's cats are mainly concentrated in the port, the cat shrine and the village on the way up the mountain from the port of Rendoutian (that is, the port of disembarkation). If you choose to turn right from Rendoutian port and go straight up the mountain, you will not encounter a cat until the cat shrine. Dabo Port is still in a state of repair because it was destroyed. There is a small group of cats in the port, which is very difficult to find. There is a Luming Shrine in the village on the port side that is very beautiful, but you need to climb a small section of the mountain. When you go down the mountain, please pay attention. Some of the steps are damaged in the earthquake and are loose. The cats on the island are still relatively close - except for a short-tailed brown cat near the mobile base station. If you need to bring cat food to the island, be sure to use special cat food instead of human food. There are several family marts northwest of Sendai Station that sell cat food and canned cats. The 800g large pack of cat food sold in the actual store is not enough to feed. Finally, if you go to the island in summer, please be sure to be prepared for sun protection and mosquito prevention. Don't ask me how I know...
Very beautiful island, worth visiting.
