In the countryside of Furano City, Hokkaido, there is a small inn where you can enjoy both cats and bedrock bathing. This is “Bedrock bath Megumi no Yu”.
The official website introduces rescue cats. Please tell us that some cats relax in the guest room.
What kind of accommodation is Megumi no Yu?
Megumi no Yu is a 2-room inn located approximately 10 minutes by car from Furano Station.Official website lists the characteristics of the inn as a bedrock bath, nature, and a peaceful time spent with carefree cats.
This is not a large, luxurious hotel, but an inn that values a relaxing stay in a quiet environment. The availability of bedrock baths varies depending on the accommodation conditions and plan, so please check at the time of reservation.
Cats can also relax in the guest room
Official introduction of the rescue cats shows cats spending time freely inside the inn.
Resident cat Leon is introduced as “before you know it, he’s relaxing in a guest room.”Each has a different range of activity and personality, with Daizu sometimes getting close to people, and Moka having a high rate of sightings in the lobby.
Whether the cat comes to the guest room is up to the cat. Official rules state that cats should be taken out of the guest room at 22:00 and allowed to rest in their own room.
Follow the cat’s pace and interact with them
The inn advises that you do not force yourself to hold the cat, that you interact with the cat at a cat’s pace, and that you refrain from bringing in food or giving too many treats.
Some cats are friendly, others hide, and some spend time outdoors. Although you may not be able to meet all the cats, it is an environment where you can quietly share the daily lives of the cats living at the inn.
