Yushima is an island located in Oyano-cho, Kamiamakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture. It is a small island with a circumference of about 4 km and is also known as "Cat Island" due to the large number of cats, almost the same number as the island's population of about 300 people. It has become famous on social media for its "cat paradise" reputation. Yushima is also known for its white Yushima lighthouse, which guards the entrance to the Ariake Sea, as well as its winter-only daikon radishes, which are as sweet as pears and are sometimes referred to as "Yushima daikon".
