Opening in September 2018, COORIKUYA Akihabara brings the chain's welcoming "home" concept to Tokyo's iconic electronics and pop culture district, conveniently accessible within 5 minutes from JR Akihabara Station or 3 minutes from Tokyo Metro Ginza Line's Suehiro-cho Station. The cafe is thoughtfully designed to create a genuinely comfortable environment where both visitors and cats thrive, creating an ideal escape from the bustling energy of Akihabara's crowded streets. The third-floor location above the Coo&RIKU pet shop places it in a quieter setting, away from street-level noise and activity. Staff members are notably friendly, warm, and approachable, creating a welcoming atmosphere that puts visitors immediately at ease. The opportunity to visit repeatedly and develop relationships with specific cats—potentially leading to adoption decisions—adds a unique dimension to the experience.
The cats at COORIKUYA Akihabara are predominantly young kittens and young adult cats, bringing natural playfulness and enthusiasm to their interactions with visitors. These adorable feline companions are notably affectionate and responsive, readily accepting pets, chin rubs, and gentle touch. Many cats display remarkable willingness to climb into visitors' laps and settle there for extended periods, creating deeply satisfying moments of physical closeness and companionship. The young age of most residents means they approach visitors with open curiosity and enthusiasm, making interaction natural and joyful. The variety among the cats ensures different visitors find compatible companions—some are particularly outgoing and seek constant attention, while others are more observant and independent. Interactive toys readily capture the cats' interest, making play sessions consistently successful and entertaining. One unique feature of this location is the ability to purchase favorite cats directly through the Coo&RIKU system, allowing visitors who fall in love with a particular personality to bring that cat home.
