Cat Café NYAON operates in Dazaifu, a historic town south of Fukuoka city, welcoming visitors with a roster of approximately 12-15 affectionate cats of various breeds. The facility features cats including American Shorthairs, Maine Coons, Ragdolls, British Shorthairs, Bengals, and Scottish Folds, among others. Located at CAT'S building in Mukaizano, the café emphasizes a family-friendly atmosphere with no age restrictions for children, though those under middle school age require parental accompaniment. The space maintains a clean, well-organized environment where cats roam freely, and the staff demonstrates genuine knowledge about feline care and individual cat personalities through their interactions with visitors.
The business model combines café operations with a breeding program for Scottish Folds and Munchkins, maintaining what they describe as "stress-free natural mating." Kittens are raised with parents until at least 2.5 months old before adoption, reflecting the owner's commitment to minimizing stress for young cats. Operating hours typically run 12:00-18:00 (with last orders at 17:00), with reservation strongly encouraged. Pricing stands at approximately 1,200 yen per hour for adults with one drink required, while children pay 900 yen, and children under 2 are charged a flat 500 yen. The café offers optional add-ons including treats, toys, and a unique service allowing visitors to trim cat claws under staff guidance.
Guest experiences consistently highlight the cats' responsiveness and the absence of typical pet facility odors. Visitors report cats that actively engage with guests—playing vigorously with provided toys, sitting on laps willingly, and approaching visitors unprompted. One reviewer noted that an affectionate cat named "おんたま" maintains a particularly food-motivated personality, eagerly accepting treats offered by guests. The staff creates a welcoming environment where visitors feel comfortable asking questions about cat behavior and care. Many guests express satisfaction with the thoughtfully curated cat selection and the opportunity to interact with well-socialized animals in a clean, pleasant setting. The café additionally supports local adoption efforts by displaying a bulletin board for rescues seeking adoptive families.
