Opening in September 2022, COORIKUYA Watahan Gondo brought the chain's signature "home" concept to Nagano city with convenient access via the Watahan Super Center Gondo location. The cafe sits just a 2-minute walk from Nagano Dentetsu Railway's Gondo Station, making it exceptionally accessible for visitors relying on public transit. The space features large glass frontage that allows passersby to observe the cats, creating a welcoming first impression and inviting visitors to step inside. The integration with the Watahan shopping center makes COORIKUYA Gondo an easy addition to a larger outing, whether you're shopping or exploring the area. The cafe's thoughtful design creates an inviting atmosphere where visitors immediately feel comfortable settling in for a relaxing session with the cats. Staff members are friendly and attentive, contributing to the warm, welcoming environment that defines the COORIKUYA experience.
COORIKUYA Watahan Gondo houses a beautiful collection of eleven adorable and friendly cats, each with distinct personalities that make every visit unique and engaging. The variety among the resident cats is remarkable—some are naturally affectionate and sweet, readily approaching visitors and seeking attention and affection; others display more independent, "tsundere" personalities, maintaining aloof composure while occasionally revealing their softer side; and still others are content observers, going about their day without particular interest in guest interaction. This wonderful diversity means that visitors with different temperaments and preferences will find a compatible cat companion during their visit. The cats respond enthusiastically to interactive play, and many display endearing quirks and behaviors that bring genuine joy to observers. Reviewers consistently describe the cats as adorable and entertaining, with many visitors returning regularly to spend time with these charming feline residents. The extensive selection of cat treats and toys available for purchase allows visitors to deepen their interaction and play sessions. The cafe's connection to the Coo&RIKU pet shop means that visitors who fall in love with a particular cat can explore adoption possibilities.
