Why You Should Visit
A festival for cat lovers returns to the 9th floor of Kobe Hankyu. Bags, accessories, original paintings and ceramics by cat-loving creators from across Japan fill the hall, ranging from a few hundred yen to a two-million-yen showpiece. New this year: Patisserie Cou de Craie, a cake shop near Hankyu Rokko, brings cat-faced sweets. Even if you don't buy, six days of browsing the artwork is worth the trip.
