Though it may not seem like it, Japan is actually a fairly sizable country, with a lot of ground for sightseers to cover. It’s so big, in fact, we imagine it’d be difficult to a regular tourist to see all of it.
But what if you grew up in Japan and spent all your free time traveling around the country? Well, in that case, we bet you’d get to see a whole lot more of it, and for one Japanese Internet user, that exactly describes their life—but with one very cool addition. It turns out this anonymous traveler loves to take photos of cats at their various destinations.
Check out the awesome and adorable photo album below!
The original poster apparently decided to show off all their cool photos on 2Chan late last month, putting up roughly 90 photos. It is a fun way to see some both a wide variety of locations in Japan and the many cats that roam the country.
Check out the photos, organized by prefecture, below!
