Nestled within AEON MALL Matsumoto's Soraniwa (sky garden) space on the ground floor, Cat Cafe MOCHA's newest Nagano location opened in 2025 as one of the brand's most family-accessible venues. Positioned near JR Matsumoto Station and integrated into a major shopping complex, this location exemplifies MOCHA's commitment to welcoming cats into everyday community spaces. With its lack of age restrictions and zero-entry fee for children under three, the Matsumoto location represents the brand's vision of making feline companionship available to people of all ages and life stages—from infants to seniors—ensuring that families can create memories together surrounded by gentle, professional cat care.
The Matsumoto location hosts approximately 22 recently-born cats with birth dates spanning October through December 2024, establishing a youthful, energetic collection. The roster showcases impressive breed diversity including Ragdoll, Russian Blue, British Shorthair, Persian, Minuet, Burmese, Scottish Fold, Chartreux, Siberian, Ragamuffin, Norwegian Forest Cat, American Shorthair, American Curl, and Ramkin cats—with notable residents including Sui, Min, Ian, Kinako, Adam, Bell, Shirasu, Pato, Popo, and Kurogane (Black Princess). Google reviewers consistently praise the "bright, calm space with about 24 individual, charming cats," noting strong personality diversity—"some cats are introvert, some are fighters" as one visitor observed. Reviewers highlight staff dedication to cat welfare and visitor care, with one guest deeply moved by a cat saying goodbye at the locker area. Staff expertise in introducing cats by name and facilitating meaningful interactions through purchased treats (¥550 premium snacks) creates powerful emotional connections, with one visitor noting they traveled from Tokyo specifically to meet Instagram-famous Kinako, and staff "very kindly took photos and videos" during their visit. The bright, spacious design with large windows has drawn praise for creating an inviting, energetic atmosphere.
