“Minshuku Umi no Sachi” in Sasebo Shikamachi Town, Nagasaki Prefecture is an inn in a fishing town overlooking the Kita Kujukushima Islands. The current plan introduces three cats, Puni-chan, Nemo-chan, and Maron-chan, and explains that they “love humans.”In the 2026 guest review, there is a specific record of being greeted by three animals, petting them, and interacting with them.
Puni, Nimo, and Marlon’s Three Cats
Current plans provided by the facility and newer guest reviews both confirm that guests can interact closely with the cats, so we classify the inn as B — interaction inside the inn or in dedicated spaces. The plan also lists cat treats as amenities.
Please provide snacks within the scope provided and managed by the inn, and do not use additional items brought in without permission.. Even if the three cats like humans, do not touch them while they are sleeping or eating, and do not chase them if they leave. Visits inside guest rooms cannot be confirmed with current information, so they are not classified as A.
Kitakujukushima fish dishes
The official website explains that the inn’s name comes from the idea that “we want guests to eat lots of fresh seafood.”The meals are typical of a fishing town, using fish caught on the Kujukushima, and the type of fish changes depending on the day.
Current reviews give high praise for large dinners such as thick-cut sashimi, boiled fish, and grilled fish. When making a reservation, please discuss how much you can eat, seafood allergies, children’s meals, and if you don’t like sashimi. Do not feed the cat the leftover food.
Guest room overlooking Kujukushima
The official website lists the fact that you can see the Kujukushima and the sunset from the guest room. There is also a current plan for Japanese-style rooms with baths and toilets that were renovated in 2023, giving you options that are different from traditional guesthouses that mainly feature communal facilities.
Facilities vary depending on the room type, so check on the reservation screen whether the room has a bath and toilet, the capacity, the view, and whether you can lay your own futon. Inside the inn, there is also a shared coffee machine, water dispenser, refrigerator, comics and board games.
Quiet location with no shops nearby
The current plan is that there are no shops near the inn, and the last 800 meters is a surprising mountain path. It takes about 20 minutes by car from Emi-Shikamachi Station or Sasa Station, so it is not suitable for visiting only by public transportation, so a car is recommended.
There are 5 free parking spaces. The path may be difficult to find after sunset, so please arrive with plenty of time between 4pm and 6pm for check-in. Please prepare drinks and necessities in the city, and check the routes recommended by the inn, such as Google Maps.
Points to check when traveling with family
There are toys and board games inside the inn, and interacting with cats will become a memorable memory of your family trip. On the other hand, the current plan states that children who cry at night cannot be accommodated. If you are traveling with an infant, please do not make a self-judgment based on age alone; be sure to consult with the inn.
If a child touches a cat, an adult will be there to tell them not to chase, hold, or get close to the cat. To prevent cat scratches or bites, end the interaction when you see signs that the cat doesn’t like it, such as shaking its tail vigorously or lowering its ears.

Summary
Minshuku Umi no Sachi is an inn where you can enjoy interacting with three resident cats, eating fish from Kita Kujukushima, and enjoying the sunset view from the guest room. This is a house that has specific contact records from 2026, making it relatively easy to judge the current distance from the cats.
On the other hand, guest-room visits are unconfirmed, as there are no shops nearby and the location is along a mountain road. Please check the amount of meals, guest room facilities, acceptance of children, and arrival route before booking, and follow the inn’s rules regarding cat treats and petting.
