[Main Part]

Neko-no-hosomichi (Cat Trail) is one of the most favorite spots in Onomichi, along with Tenneiji Temple kaiun-to. There are 108 “Fukuishi-neko” (Lucky stone cat), round stones with painting of cats, along Neko-no-hosomichi (Cat Trail). When I visited Onomichi for the first time two years ago, I visited Neko-no-hosomichi (Cat Trail). This time, I revisited it and spent considerable time on it. I took many photos there, so I will post some of them in my blog.

Let’s get started.

This Fukuishi-neko (Lucky stone cat) is used for my profile icon.

Selfie?

This is the first version of Fukuishi-neko (Lucky stone cat).

The following Fukuishi-neko (Lucky stone cat)’s photos were taken at Onomichi Art Gallery Fukuishineko pavilion.

The blow photo was Manekineko Art Museum in Onomichi. It was not allowed to take photos inside the museum, so I just took photos outside.

Here are other Fukuishi-neko (Lucky stone cat)’s photos taken at Neko-no-hosomichi (Cat Trail).

The final photo of Fukuishi-neko (Lucky stone cat) was the one called “Adam and Eve”.

[Closing]

That’s it for the article about Neko-no-hosomichi (Cat Trail) as a series of the travel to Onomichi. In the next article, I will write about temples and shrines I visited in Onomichi.
