Kyoto, Japan

Nyan-nyan-ji

劉小兔 via Google Maps

Created by cat artist Miyano Kaya, this eccentric residential conversion transforms traditional Japanese spiritual architecture into a playful tribute to felines. Visitors can marvel at hand-painted sliding doors, quirky shrines honoring feline deities, and an extensive collection of works by over a hundred artists. From custom charms to one-of-a-kind prints, the temple doubles as a gallery and boutique. It is an utterly charming and delightfully offbeat pilgrimage for cat enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.
