Established in 2020, Cat Cafe MOCHA Miyazaki Tachibana-dori brought the beloved chain's welcoming atmosphere to Miyazaki, Japan's southernmost major metropolitan area. Located on the third floor of Miyazaki Nanairo West Building on Tachibana-dori (approximately ten minutes' walk from JR Miyazaki Station), this location represents MOCHA's expansion into Kyushu's regional centers. The positioning within a shopping complex makes cat cafe experiences accessible to families and visitors across Miyazaki Prefecture seeking quality leisure time with professionally cared-for cats. This establishment demonstrates MOCHA's commitment to extending its services across Japan's diverse regions while maintaining consistent standards for feline welfare and visitor experience.
The Miyazaki Tachibana-dori location hosts a diverse collection of cats representing numerous breeds including American Curl, Minuet, Scottish Fold, Munchkin, Scottish Straight, British Shorthair, Persian, La Perm, Ragamuffin, and Norwegian Forest Cat. Notable residents like Roxie (American Curl), Vanilla (Munchkin), and Yuki (Norwegian Forest Cat) exemplify the variety and charm guests encounter. Reviewers consistently praised the location as "such a warm & friendly Cat Cafe" with exceptional cleanliness—one detailed visitor noted: "The place was really clean & loved the warm ambiance. The staffs were very nice too. All the cats looked so cute & well taken care of." Multiple reviewers emphasized the professional staff's attentiveness to both cat and human comfort, with one visitor highlighting that staff "would really educate about cat interactions" and provide guidance on "the cat personalities and how to interact with them." The facility provides private spaces for cats requiring alone time—"there were spaces for them to go where customers can't follow if they need alone time"—demonstrating respect for feline autonomy. Visitors particularly valued observing the two daily feeding times, with one reviewer noting the special appeal of "seeing them having their meals." The warm, relaxing atmosphere creates an experience described as providing "ゆっくりできます" (ability to pass time leisurely).
Operating daily from 10:00 to 20:00 (last entry 19:30), the Miyazaki location uses premium pricing reflecting its regional positioning: ¥800 (¥880 with tax) for the initial 30 minutes on weekdays and ¥900 (¥990 with tax) on weekends, then ¥200 per additional 10 minutes, with daily maximums of ¥2,500 (weekdays) or ¥3,000 (weekends). Importantly, the entry fee includes unlimited access to the drink bar—a significant value. Children ages 3 and up are welcome with parental supervision (one guardian per three children maximum). The facility features complimentary beverages, Wi-Fi access, free content streaming service access, manga reading materials, and lockers for personal belongings. Cat treats cost ¥550. Two daily feeding times occur at 11:00 and 19:00, providing excellent observation opportunities. One detailed Japanese-language reviewer noted the exceptional cleanliness ("動物カフェと思えませんでした—匂いが全くなく、猫もとてもきれい" / "wouldn't think it's an animal cafe—no smell at all, cats are very clean") and praised the staff's comprehensive guidance on cat interaction and individual personalities. The location was described as containing "バリエーション" (variety) in coat types—both long-haired and short-haired breeds. As with all MOCHA locations, flash photography is prohibited, and visitors should respect cats' autonomy and allow them to control interaction levels.
