“Nekokura no Yado Hida” in Furukawa-cho, Hida City, Gifu Prefecture is a rental inn with a cat shelter “SAVE THE CAT HIDA” attached. You can stay in the town of Hida Furukawa and incorporate the experience of interacting with and caring for rescued cats into your itinerary.
Interact with rescue cats and experience their care
Hida City’s official tourism website clearly states that the attractions of this inn include interacting with rescue cats, caring for them, and volunteering. This site classifies them as B because they can socialize in a managed shelter adjacent to the accommodation facility.
The structure is different from a typical inn where resident cats walk in the guest room, and time with resident cats is done according to the rules and guidance of the shelter. We cannot confirm that a cat is coming to the guest room. When making a reservation, please check which cats you can interact with, the times, conditions for children to enter, and whether holding or taking pictures is allowed.
Some rescued cats are in the process of getting used to people, and some are prioritized for adoption preparation and treatment. It is important that you take part in the cat care experience, not just for entertainment, but also as an activity that supports cleaning and the cat’s health.
Rent a house for up to 8 people
Up to 8 people can stay overnight in the entire building. This is a Japanese-style room with a futon laid out. It’s easy to use for families and groups of cat lovers, and it’s different from a typical guesthouse where you share it with other guests.
The basic idea is to stay overnight without meals. Please check the reservation page for details about the kitchen, cooking utensils, bathroom, toilet, laundry facilities, and amenities. If you are traveling with someone who is allergic to cats, you will need to consult with us in advance regarding the division and ventilation of the shelter and accommodation building.
Convenient for walking around Hida Furukawa
The location is 15-36 Kanamori-cho, Furukawa-cho, Hida City. It’s a 4-minute walk from JR Hida-Furukawa Station and a 2-minute walk from the free parking lot at Hida City Hall, making it easy to access by public transportation or car.
It is easy to combine with walking around Shirakabe Dozogai, Seto River, Sake Brewery, etc., and you can also eat at restaurants in town without meals. Restaurants have different business hours and holidays, so it’s best to decide where to have dinner in advance.
