A Scenic Station to Spend Time with Cats

Introduction

At the small unmanned station overlooking the Abukuma River, there is an unexpected space for healing. The 'Tengu no Miya Industrial Heritage Hall' in Marumori-cho, Miyagi Prefecture, was once an unusual tourist spot known as the paradise of cats. It's a place full of charm that cat lovers can't resist.

A Paradise for Interaction Between Humans and Cats

This heritage hall is located adjacent to the Abukuma Station on the Abukuma Line, and cats have been free to come and go from the station building since its opening. Under the care of gentle local residents, the cats enjoyed leisurely days. Seeing them napping on the offering box never fails to bring a smile to the faces of visitors.

A Scenic Cafe Surrounded by Nature

The charm of this place lies not only in the cats, but also in the view of the Abukuma River. From the cafe at the heritage hall, you can enjoy the view of the clear stream surrounded by greenery. You can enjoy a luxurious time surrounded by negative ions while enjoying light meals.

Access and Latest Information

It is convenient to use the Tohoku Shinkansen. It is about a 1-hour drive from Sendai Station and about 30 minutes from Fukushima Station. It was temporarily closed due to the damage from Typhoon No. 19, but it has now been restored. Before visiting, check the latest operating information on social media, etc.

Conclusion

For those seeking interaction with cats or those wanting to fully enjoy nature, the Tengu no Miya Industrial Heritage Hall may fulfill your wishes. Perhaps unforgettable memories await at this rare tourist spot that satisfies both adults and children. Why not visit and see for yourself.

I saw someone sharing on the Internet that there are cats that are not afraid of animals, and there are feed basins outside the museum. However, this time I only saw the back of a cat that was afraid of animals. When it saw us getting off the car from a distance, it started to walk towards the mountain wall behind. We ran away and hid in the cave and couldn't come out. Because we took the Avukuma Express with the Sendai one-day pass, we could only wait for more than an hour at the next place. Although drinks and food were sold inside the museum, we chose to stay outside the museum. There was a pavilion for cherry blossom viewing. I thought there was a sightseeing boat available but didn’t see it. However, the time we went there happened to be when the cherry blossoms started to slowly blow. There was no one else but us at the time, so we could take pictures non-stop without being afraid. It affects others, just enjoying the breeze in the pavilion, watching the cherry blossoms blowing in the snow, and quietly waiting for the next train~~

A folklore museum attached to Abukuma Station on the Abukuma Express. You can spend a relaxing time with the unmanned station and the many cats. It's irresistible for cat lovers. I went in the summer, so the cats were all grown up. There is also a black cat on the offering box. I stroked it while offering money. Drinks and snacks are also available, so I think it's a good place to take a break while looking out at the Abukuma River.

It has not yet recovered from the damage caused by Typhoon No. 19. Although the folklore museum remains damaged, the cat that lives here is doing well thanks to the goodwill of many people. I also came to see the cat with food for the first time in a month. He was happy to come out to greet me. It's warm in my pocket. I plan to come again.

There are no cats. There is a toilet. You can watch the Chinsodan running across the river. 100 points!
