Neko no Hosomichi (Cat Alley)
猫の細道Hiroshima · Chugoku
A two-hundred-metre footpath climbing the hillside between Onomichi's temples, lined with painted 'lucky cat' stones set into the walls by a local artist and with several cat-themed cafes and a small gallery along it. Real cats sleep on the steps in numbers that make the name literal.
