Cat shrine with cute monks can be visited in Japan

If you are also in love with cats you should know that Japan is the perfect country for cat lovers. But aside from Maneki Neko (that lucky cat) and kitten videos, love for cats can be seen in many places around the country. An example of this is the Nyan Nyan Ji Shrine, which in a Portuguese translation literally means Meow Miau Shrine.

The place of worship for furry friends is in Kyoto and is a paradise for cat lovers. Here's why you need to buy your ticket to Japan today:

1. You are greeted by a sister cat
