Opening in April 2022, COORIKUYA Nagaoka brings the chain's welcoming "home" concept to Niigata's Nagaoka region, situated conveniently within the Coo&RIKU Nagaoka pet shop. The cafe boasts an open, spacious interior that immediately puts visitors at ease, creating an airy and comfortable environment for relaxed interaction with the cats. The location is approximately 15 minutes by car from JR Shinetsutsu Line's Nagaoka Station, making it accessible for regional visitors. The Coo&RIKU facility offers a comprehensive suite of pet services beyond the cafe—visitors can explore live animal purchases, access premium grooming and hospitality services including a pet hotel, and take advantage of special membership programs. The Premium40 membership is particularly appealing, offering 40% discounts on cafe visits, pet shop purchases, and pet hotel services, making regular visits and pet ownership more affordable. Staff members are genuinely kind and knowledgeable, taking time to explain animal care and help visitors make informed decisions about pet adoption.
The cats at COORIKUYA Nagaoka are celebrated for their friendly, affectionate personalities and their natural warmth toward visitors. Reviewers consistently describe the cats as adorable and notably people-oriented, making every visit feel special and therapeutic. Many visitors have adopted cats from this location and found the staff incredibly supportive, maintaining relationships with their adopted cats even after purchase—the pet hotel services allow owners to have their adopted cats cared for by familiar staff members who knew them as kittens, providing peace of mind and continuity of care. The staff's genuine interest in animal welfare extends to creating updates during hotel stays, with photos, videos, and personalized messages sent via LINE to worried pet parents. The variety among the resident cats ensures that different visitors find compatible companions, whether seeking highly interactive playmates or more independent observers. The spacious layout allows for comfortable movement and multiple interaction possibilities simultaneously.
