Opening in November 2017, COORIKUYA Akasaka Jungle brings the chain's concept of a peaceful "jungle" oasis to Tokyo's sophisticated Akasaka neighborhood. The distinctive "jungle" concept creates a lush, verdant escape from the urban bustle and corporate energy surrounding the area—a genuine sanctuary where visitors can disconnect from daily stress and reconnect with nature through feline companionship. Located just 1 minute from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station (Tokyo Metro), the cafe is easily accessible yet feels wonderfully removed from the surrounding cityscape. The upstairs location in the Coo&RIKU building places it above the pet shop, creating a tiered experience where visitors move from the commercial pet shop environment into a distinctly separate, peaceful sanctuary. The relatively uncrowded nature of the space means visitors can often enjoy extended, relaxed sessions without the pressure of other guests.
The cats at COORIKUYA Akasaka Jungle are celebrated for being well-cared-for, healthy, and energetic, displaying the kind of contentment and confidence that comes from genuine, consistent care. These charming feline companions have individual personalities—some are naturally more interactive and affectionate, while others prefer quieter observation, and many warm up to visitors as trust builds over time. Reviewers note that cats display increasing affection after just 15 minutes of calm interaction, with some becoming comfortable enough to accept gentle chin scratches and petting. One particularly memorable cat is described as a shy, striking black cat with an endearingly "squishy face." The cats are visibly engaged with their environment and interactive toys, displaying the kind of natural playfulness and engagement that indicates psychological wellbeing. The relatively quiet, uncrowded environment means cats experience less stimulation pressure than in busier locations, potentially contributing to their calm, approachable demeanor.
