About Cat Cafe Nyansore
Located in Naha, Okinawa, Cat Cafe Nyansore represents over 90 years of expertise in animal care, originating from a pet specialty shop founded in 1928. The cafe opened in January 2015 with a commitment to providing a peaceful sanctuary where visitors can experience "neko jikan" (cat time)—a slow, unhurried engagement with the feline residents. The name itself carries symbolic meaning, combining the Okinawan location with the cafe concept and a desire to create a welcoming space for all visitors.
The facility features a thoughtfully separated layout with a dedicated cat room where interactions occur and a coffee room with large glass windows, allowing visitors to observe the cats while dining or relaxing without separation anxiety. This design accommodates various guest preferences—those with allergies can view cats safely, nervous visitors can observe without direct contact, and those seeking uninterrupted meals can enjoy the cafe room. The cat room operates on a flexible time-based system, with options ranging from 30-minute sessions to full-day free-time passes. Visitors can watch through the glass or step inside to interact with the cats using provided toys, while beverages are available within the cat room itself.
The establishment maintains exceptionally high standards of cat care, with each feline receiving daily health checks and grooming. The cats themselves represent a remarkable collection—many are from former show bloodlines, including rare breeds like Egyptian Mau, Ragdoll, Norwegian Forest Cats, and American Curl. The staff emphasizes cleanliness at every level, with meticulous daily cleaning to eliminate odors and ensure comfort for both cats and guests. Some resident cats have been adopted into homes, while others—including retirees from Yokohama's original pet shop—spend their later years in comfortable surroundings. The facility also features a separate merchandise corner offering cat-themed goods and the option to purchase cat treats to engage with residents during visits.
