Japan’s Cat Heaven Hotel — 40+ Cats and an Ocean-View Hot Spring! | Hotel Shiroi Todai
A cat-first hotel home to over 40 rescued cats. The cats spend their days in their favorite spots. Ocean-view rooms, hot springs, and delicious meals. Enjoy a heartwarming journey. Hello! Today I’m at Tokushima Station. Tokushima is in the Shikoku region of Japan. It’s often called “Japan’s hidden gem” and is loved by visitors from overseas. It’s about an hour and a half to the nearest station, costing 1,240 yen. I’ve arrived! From here, it’s a 30-minute walk to the hotel. But today is extremely hot. So I’m taking a taxi. It’s about five minutes by taxi to the hotel. Ah, I can see the hotel. The mountains and the hotel… And the sea. A white cat has come to greet me. One after another, more cats appear. Hello there. It seems they can come and go as they please. Oh, a cat here in a place like this. Nice to meet you from today. 🐱 This is Kyu-chan, the hotel’s resident cat. Looks like he’s going to show me around. So this is the spot for checking the territory. Oh? Is everything alright? There’s a small waterfall here, and it feels so cool. This is such a nice spot. Hello there. You’re licking me. Thank you. Are you Fumi-chan? You’re adorable. Hello. So relaxed, even though we just met. You’re so cute. Suddenly turning into a grasshopper hunter. You seem so focused, so I’ll leave you to it. Now, let’s check in. Is Kyu-chan here to greet the guests? His greeting style is pure relaxation. Big-kun. On a scorching day, this must be the best spot in the hotel. Too cute… This hotel truly puts the cats first. The front desk. Let’s head to the room. Hmm? WANTED? Looks like it’s for four cats who love the elevator. I think I’ve seen them before… Here comes Satsuki-chan already. Alright, let’s slip away while she’s not looking. Nope, didn’t work. Sorry, Satsuki-chan. The cats aren’t allowed in the guest room floors or the restaurant. The hotel is home to many rescued cats. Let’s go into the room. One night with two meals, 12,540 yen. (Varies by number of guests and season) The room has an ocean view. TV, air purifier, kettle, and microwave. Time to relax while gazing at the sea. Let’s explore the hotel to find more cats. Satsuki-chan. ☺️ This is the cat lounge. It seems the cats have claimed the best view here. Oh, there’s a kitten. Playing with his big brother, Chibisuke-kun. Another kitten. Kotaro-kun and Uni-chan. They were recently rescued at a nearby fishing port. 😊 How to spend time with the cats. Everyone’s names. Kome-chan is curious about the camera. You look great in the shot. Here you go. Let’s play with some toys. Big-kun has come back. Just relaxing casually in the hotel lobby. …As expected from a hotel that puts cats first. 🐱🏨 You came to me. A little bum pat. 😳 Oh, belly’s a no-go. Sorry. So this is your favorite spot. Off to dreamland. 😴 There’s still time before dinner, so let’s visit the hot spring. Towel and yukata in hand—let’s go. The hot spring is on the 4th floor. Oh, hello. Surrounded by cats arriving one after another. A fluffy traffic jam. Only 5 meters to the hot spring… but it feels like the longest ever. You’re all so cute. Two cats linking arms. 🥰 😊👋 Looks like a hot spring with an amazing view. Can’t wait. The benefits of the hot spring. Wow, the hot spring has an ocean view too. The view and the hot spring were so relaxing. On my way to dinner, I find a cat lying around. The hotel is full of cat traps. Is that Kuri-chan? Big-kun is having a drink. This is the hotel’s dining room. Rice and soup are self-serve. Appetizer. Sashimi. The local sashimi was so fresh and delicious. Crab gratin. Spotted a cat outside. Maybe it smells someone it loves. That was delicious. Whoa! Sleeping in such an incredible spot. Let’s step outside. A true resident cat. Big-kun, were you outside? You can see the orange of the sunset—what a lovely place. Sankuro-chan.(I call him Kuro-chan.) You really love massages. Your white fur around the neck is beautiful. The sea breeze carries a hint of greenery. Kuro-chan has brought me here. Yes, a friend is up in the tree. That’s your favorite spot, isn’t it? What an amazing friend you have. Now that it’s night, I’m heading down to the lobby. This is Oto-chan, who loves the elevator. I found some cute cat accessories. All the sales from these goods go toward the cats. I’ll take this one. Payment goes into the donation box. Big-kun Big, adorable paws. Satsuki-chan is trying to get in the elevator again. The sensor reacts and the automatic doors open. Chibisuke-kun came to check things out. Now Big-kun is working at the front desk. Looks like it’s a two-cat shift tonight. From here, you can access the lobby terrace. Kyu-chan? So you were here. Kyū-chan is completely focused on bum pats. The one who got in the elevator with a staff member earlier… Here you are. No one rides the elevator at night, and it gets hot, so let’s head down. Are you a little upset? Sorry. And you’re back on the 4th floor. I’m going to buy some water and head back to my room. Tomorrow, I’ll get to watch the cats’ breakfast time. Good night. Good morning. It’s around 5:30 in the morning. Now it’s time for the cats’ breakfast. I’ve heard the hotel’s owner feeds them every morning. The current owner took over this hotel seven years ago. In 2018, a kitten wandered into the hotel.
They named her “Maru-chan” and gave his a home here. Later, they began caring for cats abandoned in front of the hotel, as well as those rescued from a nearby fishing port— Now there are nearly 50 cats, many of whom have been saved by this hotel. Owner: Alright, alright. Just a moment. Two of them didn’t feel like eating today, so they got Churu treats first. Next, to feed the outdoor cats. Owner: Nyaa nyaa, nyaa nyaa. Kuro-chan has been waiting too. Are you already full? Let’s get that eye gunk off. Are you two having another staring contest? Finally found Kyu-chan. Owner: I’m in a hurry, you know. Owner: Ah, good. Owner: Nice, getting your photo taken. Our star cat. Kyu-chan may seem like the boss, but he doesn’t intimidate the other cats. He’s a gourmet and eats only a little. Looks like Big-kun is done eating too. Breakfast set. Owner: Oh, what’s up, Big? Owner: Didn’t think you had that much energy in you. Kyu-chan led me to his favorite spot. The purpose, of course— —bum pats. Are you satisfied now? Wow, walking way up there. Looks like a great view. Good morning, Fumi-chan. A friend is coming from over there. Kuro-chan. It’s breakfast time. The view from the restaurant is amazing. In the morning too, rice, miso soup, and bread are self-serve. Cereal, seaweed, and natto. Ah, Kuro-chan. Let’s eat. This is natto. A traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans. 😆 Checking the collection of room keys. Work starts from here. There’s a scenic spot nearby, so I’ll take a walk there. Ah, I can see the hotel. Ebisu-dō. A massive hole about 30 meters in diameter cuts through a 53-meter-high rocky cliff, carved out by rough waves. It was truly breathtaking. Every cat here loves to come and talk to me. It’s time to check out. Satsuki-chan and Big-kun. Thank you, Big-kun. I had such a wonderful time. Everyone in the cat lounge— —are in dreamland. Uni-chan, grow up happy and healthy. Bye-bye, everyone. I got to see Kyu-chan too. Thank you. Returning the key. Saying goodbye to Kuro-chan until the taxi comes. Thank you for showing me your belly so much. That little mark on your chest is really cute. Bye-bye. Bye-bye to your friend too. See you again. Thank you for watching until the end. 🐱
See you in the next video.

This time, I visited a hotel in Tokushima, Shikoku, where over 40 rescued cats live freely. Inside the hotel, you can meet cats relaxing anywhere they like—except in the restaurant and guest rooms.
Open the door and you’ll find cats lounging in the lobby, cats casually coming and going through the automatic doors, and cats enjoying the ocean-view lounge in style…
There are “fluffy traps” everywhere—sometimes it even takes forever to walk just 5 meters to the hot spring 🐱💦
You’ll also see cats rolling over to show their bellies, cats who love elevators, cats relaxing on top of the ice cream freezer or at the front desk, and cats keeping their “designated” spots for staring contests… It’s truly a cat-first hotel.
In the video, I’ll share plenty of heartwarming and laugh-out-loud moments with these cats.

猫天国すぎる‥40匹以上の保護猫が暮らすホテルに泊まってみた🐈💕 オーシャンビューの絶景温泉の宿。徳島県 | ホテル白い燈台
今回訪れたのは、四国・徳島県にある、40匹以上の保護猫たちが自由に暮らすホテル。館内では、レストランと客室以外なら好きな場所でくつろぐ猫ちゃんたちに会えます。ドアを開けるとロビーでくつろぐ猫、自動ドアの前でのんびり出入りする猫、オーシャンビューのラウンジで優雅に過ごす猫… 館内には「猫トラップ」がいっぱいで、温泉行くまでの5mがなかなか進めないことも🐱💦
他にも、お腹を見せてゴロンする猫、エレベーター好きな猫、アイス冷凍庫の上やフロントでくつろぐ猫、そして睨みあいの“定位置”をキープする猫… まさに猫ちゃんファーストなホテルです。
動画では、猫たちとのほっこり&クスッと笑える瞬間をたっぷりお届けします。ぜひお楽しみください。

how cute🌹
外で自由にしていて、ノミとか衛生面大丈夫なのかな?
고양이도 좋지만 바다가 보이는 온천뷰가 진짜 미쳤다..
어쩌다가 일본고양이쪽으로 넘어와버렸다….
전체적으로 일본 따라한.얼마나 험한 세상인데 한번 보기 좋자고 인간들이 무서운 세상 잆니다.확인도 된지안은 물질 뿌리고 가는 사람도 많음
Likes and thank you again for the Cats video.
猫ちゃん、尻尾立ててご機嫌さん、可愛い❤

何だ、この宿は天国かな?

Posso rimanere qui per sempre? ❤️❤️❤️❤️Amo il Giappone e i giapponesi.
