Japan on August 12

Following the success of the original location in Yase, Kyoto, which has attracted
significant domestic and international attention, the Yufuin location will serve
as a new permanent facility for the brand.

The museum does not house live cats; instead, it operates exclusively as a cultural
and artistic venue showcasing cat-inspired paintings and merchandise. The facility
prominently features the work of acclaimed cat artist Kaya Miyano.

Visitors can experience an immersive artistic environment featuring traditional 
Japanese sliding doors (fusuma), ceiling paintings, and an enshrined feline deity
statue, all designed around cat motifs.
