    By far, the best cat cafe I have been in Japan. Cats are well socialized and friendly. The owner is also doing an amazing work providing homes for many. We loved how the cafe was designed in a way that maintains the heritage value of Takayama.

    A cozy cat cafe with very stylish interior and exterior! Worth supporting and checking out even if you have half an hour to spare around the city.

    By far, this is the cutest cay cafe I've ever been to ☺️ If you are a cat lover in Takayama, this is definitely a must go place! Seriously, they have so many attention to each detail that it makes a heartwarming place to be. All cats were rescued locally and the staff is the friendliest people ❤️

    Lovely calm cat cafe in the middle of old preserved house district in Takayama. Great break for kids (and adults) after lots of walking !

    Fun cat cafe full of rescued cats. A lot of them have personalities and will connect with you if you discover the way to bridge the gap. We spent 30min here and that was enough time relax and have some kitty fun.

    I'm glad the reviews talked me into trying a more ethical cat cafe experience. Even without the gorgeous kitties this would still be a must visit - it's even worth dragging along any cat indifferent travel companions you have, as if they're really not interested they can always get a great drink in cozy warm spot to enjoy the cafe (take a right for the cafe only, left for the cats), in a lovely 130 year old preserved house and absolutely lovely, caring staff. There are staff that speak English, and considering what you're paying goes to help find cats in need a home it's great value too.

    Amazing little ethical cat cafe in Takayama! Highly recommended! The cats are all strays that were rescued by the owner (many of them had healed scars and wounds), waiting to be adopted. The owner knows the story about each of the cats, and you can see their love and care for the cats. The cats were energetic, and not at all disturbed or afraid of people. Overall, I think they are treated very well and live very happy lives here.

    The kitties here are so sweet and you can see they are very well looked after. We loved spending time with the cats so much we came back twice. A great and relaxing way to spend some time in Takayama.

    Such a cute place. It’s beautiful, the staff is super kind and the cats are all so friendly and cute😍 the best part is that there’s only rescue cats which makes it just a good cause to visit and support❤️
