Great cat cafe and one of the few cafes where you can pick up and hold the cats. Friendly staff and cats

Lots of friendly cute cats! Their cats are rescued ones, ones from pet shops they no longer keep, or ones from home they can’t keep with some reasons. A good cat cafe.

If I ever had to recommend a cat cafe to a person that's never been but wants to experience it, this is definitely the one, without a shadow of doubt in my mind. Come here. This is it. In a lot of ways the best cat cafe I've ever been to. I have to question the negative reviewers sanity. One word: cats. (And plenty of them!) In total there were 39 cats when I went. You can even gently hold them, which is a rarity. The owner is really nice and will give you pointers if you own cats yourself. I just wish I had a larger apartment so I could adopt a few more. The owner is also really relaxed and occasionally walks around handing out free snacks to for the customers to give to all the cats. Almost all 39 cats are friendly (The black and white big one is pretty shy), and will almost certainly come to you and sit on your lap. First time I ever came two came and sat on me. At many other cat cafes in Japan, you need to actually chase down the cats in order to pet them. Not here. The cats come right to you. All of these cats were saved from the streets/pound by the owner, so I have to commend her for that. The cats are well behaved. She's doing a great job. Highly recommended. An amazing hidden gem. ¥1200 for an hour. ¥100 for a churu (If you get a ¥100 churu, prepare to be bombarded with greedy cats). In a way I kinda want this place to stay hidden because I love coming here and like when it isn't crowded. But on the flipside, I'd like the cats to find loving homes, so the more customers the better.

I really enjoyed my time here with the cats! All of them were very friendly and two of them even slept on my lap and my partner's lap. There were free cat food given to us as well so we could feed the cats! Most of the time the cats would be a paid option so this is definitely a plus. Will definitely come back here!

One of the best cat cafes in Kobe! Big area, never too crowded, friendly staff, free face masks if you’re sneezing from the cat hair, and of course- plenty of various cats! Most cat cafes don’t allow you to pick up the cats but you can (gently) here! All rescues too!
