Located near Fukuoka, Ainoshima is one of the world’s most famous “cat spot”, hailed by CNN as one of the top ten cat islands in the world. Although fame brought many tourists, it also created numerous issues due to over-tourism. To address this, passionate locals formed the volunteer groups to begin to clean up the environment, establish guidelines, and systematically take care of cats. They have finally found a balance between tourism, animal welfare, and island residents’ daily lives
Since 2023, led by Terry, the founder of Polyglo.tw, we have partnered with the Ainoshima’s volunteer groups to organize international exchange events. We bring international visitors to explore the cat island, learn how to care for cats, and at the same time learn about Ainoshima’s unique history. The results have been warmly received by both locals and overseas participants. Last but not least, Kyushu’s well-known television station, KBC, even featured our event in a special report.
Through international exchange, this event aims to bring new opportunities to both the people and cats of Aishima and to give visitors genuine opportunities to learn and connect.
Program
Polyglot.tw will co-host this program with Ainoshima’s volunteer group “Community Cat Ainoshima コミュ猫相島” for Colive Fukuoka’s participants. The participants will be able to tour the island while doing some basic volunteer work for Ainoshima’s cats. The local volunteers will use simple Japanese or English to walk you through everything you need know about cats and Ainoshiam.
