Cat Cafe Mocha Himeji

Cat Cafe Mocha Himeji, located in Hyogo Prefecture’s historic Himeji city, provides a cozy and welcoming retreat for cat lovers aged 6 and up (children under 12 require adult supervision). Situated on the 2nd floor at 222 Ekimaecho, Himeji-shi, just a 2-minute walk from JR Himeji Station’s Central Exit near Piole Himeji, it’s open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM (last entry at 7:30 PM) with no reservations required. For an admission fee starting at 30 minutes (extendable in 10-minute increments) and an optional ¥350 for unlimited vending machine drinks, guests can unwind with a variety of cats, watching their charming twice-daily mealtimes—some eating with gusto, others dawdling playfully. Limited-edition cat snacks are available for purchase to enhance the feline bonding experience, though rules like no chasing or flash photography ensure the cats’ comfort. Nestled near the iconic Himeji Castle, it’s a delightful spot for a feline break in this culturally rich city.
