This time, animal photographer Iwago Mitsuaki visits Nikko, Nasu and Shiobara. At Lake Chuzenji, he meets a cat family that is fed with seasonal smelt. A cat at a shrine in Imaichi has impressive whiskers but is a bit timid, hiding when a strong-looking cat appears. At the Nasu hot springs, where a tengu (a long-nosed snake) is said to have healed its wounds, cats love to walk through the steam. At Shiobara hot springs, he is surprised by a cat playing hide-and-seek in a limestone cave, and at Nasu Highlands, he is surprised by an elderly cat that draws energy from the forest. He meets cats that live together with people and nature.
