Atelier Takana Sensei
Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi1.4 mi / 2.2 km
Atelier Takana Sensei is a free rescue cat cafe and community space in Funatsu, Fujikawaguchiko, about 12 minutes on foot from Kawaguchiko Station on the Fujikyu Line. It is named after its mascot, Takana Sensei, a rescued cat who also fronts the operator's chili-pepper brand, and is home to a group of rescued cats, including kittens saved from the health centre, injured cats and cats whose owners could no longer keep them. Entry, drinks and time are all free, and the space runs on donations and an online wish list. Visitors hold the cats only when they come onto a lap by themselves. Wi-Fi, power outlets, lockers and a large manga library make it a rainy-day stop and a place for remote work. It is closed on Thursdays unless they fall on a holiday, and the same company runs a Yoshida udon restaurant across the road.
