Unlike your average city tour, this 'cat-tourism' tour of Nagasaki takes you off the beaten path and into hidden streets and local neighbourhoods. As well as learning about Nagasaki’s fascinating history, you’ll encounter the adorable local stray kitties that call these areas home. To make the experience even more special, you'll visit a cat-themed charity-run souvenir shop full of unique finds, as well as local snack stops where you can explore flavours loved by Nagasaki locals. Through combining history, culture and a playful connection with feline friends, this tour offers an experience you truly won’t find anywhere else. Important: 1. Please note that the cats encountered during the tour are strays, and therefore Space Beppu cannot guarantee the sighting of any particular number of cats. The chances of cat sightings are also heavily influenced by the weather. 2. This is a physically demanding tour. The route features uneven terrain, steep steps, slopes and narrow pathways.
