Annyeong, Goyeonghui is a large cat cafe in the countryside of Majang-myeon, western Icheon. The cats who live here came through rescue, abandonment or owners who could no longer keep them, and the owners built a small garden so the cats can feel the seasons up close. The cafe runs on a capacity-based reservation system: booked visitors get a discount, and walk-ins are admitted only to time slots that still have space, so checking availability before setting out is advised. The entry ticket includes a drink, with a lower price for children aged three to seven. Coffee, other drinks and desserts are also available to take away. The cafe is open from 11 AM to 8 PM.
