Opening in June 2018, COORIKUYA Obihiro marked the second COORIKUYA location in Hokkaido and became a gateway for the eastern region to experience the brand's beloved "home" concept. Located in Otofuke town within Kato District, the cafe operates in partnership with the Coo&RIKU pet shop and is strategically situated just nine minutes by car from the Tokkaido Expressway's Otofuke Obihiro Interchange, near Obihiro Tokushukai Hospital. The expansive parking lot makes it accessible to visitors from across the greater Obihiro area, removing barriers to entry and welcoming families, couples, and solo travelers alike. The cafe's design balances intimacy with openness, creating a welcoming atmosphere where visitors immediately feel the comfort of being in a true "home" rather than a commercial space.
COORIKUYA Obihiro houses a collection of young, well-socialized cats that exemplify the Coo&RIKU philosophy of animal care and temperament. Guests consistently praise the energy and friendliness of the resident cats, describing them as affectionate, playful, and remarkably responsive to interaction. Many cats are quick to approach visitors upon entry, and reviewers have noted the delightful experience of being surrounded by eager feline companions. The variety among the cats is remarkable—some display boundless energy, enthusiastically chasing toys and engaging in spirited play, while others prefer a more measured approach, offering gentle head bumps or choosing to rest peacefully nearby. The space is kept clean and inviting, with manga and other entertainment available for those who prefer a more relaxed, observational style of visit. Staff members are known for their polite, detailed explanations of cafe rules and interaction guidelines, ensuring that all visitors feel confident and comfortable during their time with the cats. Reviewers highlight the sense of authentic healing that comes from this experience and consistently mention their desire to return.
