Cat Cafe MOCHA Machida Jorna

Opening in 2019, Cat Cafe MOCHA Machida Jorna extended the chain's reach to Tokyo's Machida district, bringing professional cat cafe experience to visitors seeking accessible, high-quality alternatives to central Tokyo locations. Located on the fourth floor of Machida Jorna shopping complex, with convenient access just two minutes from JR Yokohama Line's central exit and five minutes from Odakyu Machida Station's west exit, the location combines excellent transit connectivity with strategic positioning within a major commercial hub. The facility's location within a family-oriented shopping center positions it as an accessible destination for diverse visitor demographics, from first-time cat cafe explorers to regular enthusiasts.

The Machida Jorna location houses an impressive collection of cats representing numerous breeds including Somali, American Shorthair, Scottish Fold, Maine Coon, Tonkinese, Kinkalow, Persian, Munchkin, Ragdoll, Ragamuffin, and Norwegian Forest Cat. Notable elder residents like Rupi (Somali, born 2019) and Hideyoshi (Maine Coon, born 2019) provide continuity alongside newer arrivals. Reviewers consistently emphasized the exceptional first-time visitor experience, describing the location as "big and clean" with "friendly" staff who are "very polite and attentive" and create an atmosphere where visitors feel comfortable and welcomed. One detailed first-time visitor noted: "The staff were friendly too! They asked if we can understand little Japanese and they speak slowly too for us to understand what they are saying... The cats are pretty well taken care of. There are lots of cats and they are calm." Multiple visitors highlighted the emotional healing aspect—"The staff were very polite and attentive... I would highly recommend visiting if you get a chance"—and the close physical proximity between cats and visitors. One regular visitor noted that the "smaller" interior compared to larger locations creates "closer distance" with cats, enabling satisfaction from simply sitting peacefully. Notably, one visitor described a special moment when a cat named JIN performed hand-shake tricks ("JINくんがほんとにお手してくれて感動しました").

Operating daily from 10:30 to 20:00 (last entry 19:30), with closure on facility holidays, the Machida Jorna location charges ¥270 per 10 minutes on weekdays and ¥350 on weekends, with daily maximums of ¥3,600 (weekdays) or ¥4,200 (weekends). Children ages 3 and up are welcome with parental supervision (one guardian per three children maximum). Complimentary beverages are provided from vending machines, and the facility includes phone charging stations, manga reading materials, and comfortable seating. Cat treats cost ¥550 and are highly effective for interaction—multiple reviewers noted that treats result in enthusiastic cat responses. Two daily feeding times occur at 11:00 and 19:00. The location's modest size is highlighted positively by regulars who appreciate the intimate atmosphere and close contact opportunities. Multiple reviewers emphasized this location's suitability for working—"コンセントもあるので作業用にも利用できます" (outlets available for work use)—and peaceful contemplation. Staff are noted for their warmth and attentiveness to both human and feline comfort. One loyal visitor described visiting "数年前から何度か" (multiple times over several years) and appreciating the consistent "清潔感" (cleanliness) and "丁寧で優しい" (polite and kind) staff. As with all MOCHA locations, flash photography is prohibited, and visitors should respect cats' autonomy and allow them to initiate interaction.
