Positioned on the first floor of LaLaport Nagoya Minato Acrus—a major shopping and lifestyle complex in Nagoya's developing Minato Ward—Cat Cafe MOCHA's newest location opened in 2025 as a premier destination for families and workers across the Aichi region. Located just two minutes from the Minato Ward Office subway station and three minutes from Tokaido Line access, this venue exemplifies MOCHA's commitment to accessibility, offering a welcoming sanctuary for all ages, including infants and toddlers who enter free. The integration into one of Nagoya's most dynamic shopping complexes reflects the brand's philosophy of making "people's daily lives filled with enriching moments" available to diverse communities—whether shoppers seeking a break, families creating memories, or remote workers seeking feline companionship during their workday.
The LaLaport Nagoya location hosts 23 carefully selected cats born between July 2024 and January 2025, showcasing impressive breed diversity including Mankin, Singapura, Tonkinese, Scottish Fold, Somali, Maine Coon, British Shorthair, Ragamuffin, Russian Blue, Norwegian Forest Cat, Ragdoll, LaPerm, Siberian, Oriental Shorthair, Exotic Longhair, and more. Notable residents include Chikuwa, Lapis, Puku, Muko, and Kokoro—with the latter earning particular praise from visitors for his intelligence and playfulness. Google reviewers consistently highlighted the staff's "kind and polite guidance," noting that first-time cat cafe visitors felt "no confusion" despite the self-service payment model. One dedicated visitor declared, "I got covered in cats!" after purchasing treats, while another praised Muko's "adorable short-legged walk" and Kokoro's "mischievous and clever" personality—a kitten intelligent enough to "anticipate and aim for the cat toy before it even moved." The facility impressed guests with its variety of seating (tables, sofas, individual chairs), Nintendo Switch gaming, extensive manga collections, and calm, welcoming atmosphere. Multiple visitors noted the cats' comfortable disposition with human touch, describing them as "well-behaved" and "not resistant to petting."
Operating year-round from 10:00 to 20:00 (last entry 19:30), LaLaport Nagoya Minato welcomes visitors of all ages—children under three enter free, with all children under 15 requiring guardian supervision (one guardian may bring up to three children).

Feeding times occur at 10:30 and 19:00, and the facility's integrated location within a major shopping complex makes it ideal for families combining shopping with feline experiences, couples enjoying quality time, and professionals utilizing the workspace area for work or study sessions accompanied by cats.
