Opening in April 2021, COORIKUYA Nagano brings the chain's cherished "home" concept to Nagano city, situated conveniently within the Coo&RIKU Nagano pet shop. The cafe is thoughtfully divided into two distinct zones, each serving different visitor preferences: the athletic area features climbing structures and play spaces where guests can observe energetic cats jumping, climbing, and exploring with joyful abandon; while the sofa area provides comfortable seating for those who prefer relaxed, quiet interaction and observation. This dual-space design allows visitors to choose their own experience style or transition between areas as their mood changes. The location is approximately 27 minutes on foot from Shinano Railway's Kita-Nagano Station, making it accessible for regional visitors. Staff members are genuinely kind and patient, creating a welcoming environment where visitors immediately feel comfortable and valued.
