Step inside

Follow the lanterns down the alley

Tiny Japanese signs crowd the shopfronts, lanterns hang over the lane and warm light spills from the izakayas. Look a little closer and you will find the cat that gives this miniature street its name. Build a pocket of Showa-era atmosphere to revisit each evening.
