Very nice and cozy place to hang in after a long day (or to start your day). Cats are super friendly (even though they seemed to not like me ) and playful. I suggest you take a toy or buy one there to attract some cats more easily. The owner was very kind and managed to speak english with us, which was really nice. Will definitely come again if I come back in Japan !

I stayed for 90 minutes and it came with a tasty drink, I got the green tea latte. I had a fun time with the cats, some were more shy and others would walk across my lap or nudge me. I saw other people bringing blankets, good idea. The cats like soft blankets and were more likely to sit on laps or cuddle next to you. Very accommodating to English speakers, owner was nice and attentive. No reservation needed, but you do need cash, no card which was fine

Such a nice relaxing cat cafe to be in. The staff there was accommodating despite the language barrier; she quickly opened google translate to communicate with me and it made everything smoother. They sell some cute cat merchandise and I couldn’t help myself but get some. Great coffee (& biscuit!). There were plenty of cats; mostly asleep but they were very happy and playful once they woke up! All so lovely and wonderful Would truly recommend this cafe to cat lovers out there P/S: I had a hard time finding out which floor the cafe was located at; it’s on the 4th floor!

They are very friendly! They are accomodating to English speakers and was a great time. The kitties are cute and the drinks are delicious. Definately purchase toys here to play with the cats. On a side note I forgot my belongings here and they were so nice to hold it until I noticed and came back. Arigato gozaimasu! Nyankuru #1!

This is my favorite cat cafe in Kamata. There a huge variety of cats to play with. Most cats are shy. I made friends with one by moving my finger on the outside of a tubing and the cat couldn't get enough of trying to catch my finger. How fun! The staff was helpful even though I didn't speak Japanese. Excellent cat cafe!

There are many soft cats in this rescue cat café. The cat room is pretty spacious and looks like a fun place to hang out as a cat as well. When I visited they were a little sleepy, but as feeding time approached they activated and started playing. This is a good reason for planning a visit over an hour. Overall, it's a privilege to meet these cool personalities. ⬛
