Phone reservations essential: 048-752-5151. Run by Tachikawa Interior (staff also operate an adjacent trampoline facility and shopping area). The cafe accommodates rescue cats and kittens awaiting adoption, allowing visitors extended interaction before animals transition to permanent homes.
Cats display excellent socialization and health with visible staff devotion to their wellbeing.

The space is clean with no animal odors. Staff are exceptionally warm and knowledgeable. One reviewer noted cats stationed at bathroom entrances, indicating freedom to roam throughout. Multiple reviews highlighted exceptional food quality (French-level cuisine) served after cat time, creating a complete experience.
