  Tashiro-Jima is another of Japan' famous cat islands. This is a tiny island with a small population of about only a hundred residents, a genuine cat island, plenty of shrines with a variety of cat-shaped architecture. Interestingly, the cats do not so much as outnumber their human counterpart on this island even though they are in their hundreds. The human residents on this island originally groomed silkworms, and they employed the use of cats for managing the population of the silkworms; local fishermen gave food to cats that stayed around the inns, as they assumed that doing that would earn them fortune and good luck.
