Highly recommend, cats are super friendly and love huggies, price are friendly, i can see cats have been well taken care by the owner, they smell even so good feeling super relaxing!!!!! ————— 2023/Dec./23th This is our second time of visiting, we insisted to come back to here before we finished the trip from Kyoto! it is really super relaxing and cute little emotional charger as the first time! I think it is because of the system of reservation, so inside of the room will be only you, your friends and cute kitty cats! (Which means you don’t need to do any extra human social) Kitties are so welcoming as usual, you just lay there and they will come towards to you comfortably, but this time we go, some of them are still sleeping, two are awaken, i will still suggest come in the morning ( because most of them are awakened!) but it is relaxing place anyway! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My girlfriend and I discovered this place through instagram. We are from Australia and travelled to Japan last year during the cherry blossom season. We went to this cafe on the 03/04/2018 around midday. A male staff member was working on his own, he was super polite and friendly. He couldn't speak English that well and my Japanese inst that great but we communicated well enough through a photo book he had. He was the nicest staff member I ever dealth with in japan, the cafe was really clean and well looked after and all of the cats were super happy and healthy, I cannot wait to go back!
