A daily must-do at Washinmura: spending time interacting with the cats.
Whether it's petting them, sitting beside them, or simply being together, it is a healing experience.
We invite you to spend a relaxing time at Washinmura.
A glamping village with a total of 6 rooms, located in the satoyama (traditional countryside) of Futtsu, Chiba.
Featuring a 200-year-old traditional house and 16 rescue cats. Please enjoy a healing time surrounded by nature and animals.
How to Spend the Daytime
Climb the slopes carrying a traditional woven basket on your back, or explore the forest. You can enjoy a traditional "primal experience" playing with your whole body.
How to Spend the Evening
Chat leisurely while watching the flames of a bonfire. Before you know it, a cat is curled up asleep right beside you. Such a day in the satoyama is a common sight at Washinmura.
About the Facilities
Scattered across the grounds are a traditional house and a gatehouse built about 200 years ago, tents, and snow peak "Jyubako" (mobile houses). We live together with the following animals:
- 15 Rescue Cats + 1 Cat (living in the dormitory)
- Goats
- Dogs
- A family of Silkie chickens (Ukokkei)
Important Notices
Regarding Animal Treats
Under the guidance of veterinarians and to manage the health of the cats, we ask that guests refrain from bringing commercially available treats from outside.
If you wish to give them treats, please purchase the carefully selected treats (additive-free, domestically sourced ingredients, etc.) sold at the Washinmura shop.
*These are sold in limited quantities.
Other Precautions
- Cats live freely on the premises. Guests with allergies should take precautions.
- The animals are temperamental, so we do not know which rooms they will visit. They are not guaranteed to come.
- The cats and dogs at Washinmura have been spayed/neutered and receive vaccinations and tick prevention medicine.
