Cat Cafe Nago Nago Mihama
Pre-opening at the new Mihama location during October 2026, mainly on weekends; opening days are posted on X.
Cat Cafe Nago Nago is one of the oldest cat cafes in the Tokai region, first opened in Nagoya in September 2006 and run for about ten years in an old house in Nagakute before moving in October 2026 to Noma in Mihama, on the western coast of the Chita Peninsula. The resident cats moved with the cafe, and many of them are long-time residents around ten years old that are friendly with visitors. Over the years the cafe has also found homes for around a hundred kittens through its adoption appeals. In past locations the cat room was kept separate from a cafe space where drinks could be ordered without entering, and the cafe streams a live camera of the cat room on YouTube. During the October 2026 pre-opening it opens on irregular days, mostly weekends, in the afternoon and evening, with the schedule posted on X.

Shiawase no Kagishippo Rescue Cat Shelter
Anjo, Aichi17 mi / 27 km
Shiawase no Kagishippo is a volunteer-run rescue cat shelter in Akamatsucho, Anjo, set inside a car care shop. It is an adoption space where anyone can drop in to play with cats looking for homes, from friendly adults to shy cats still learning to trust people, and every cat is available for adoption subject to the shelter's conditions. The shelter takes in more than a hundred cats a year. Entry works on a donation basis with a suggested minimum for adults and a smaller amount for children, and there is no time limit. The cat room is compact, holding around ten cats and ten visitors at a time, so it feels more like visiting a friend's home than a commercial cafe. Young children are welcome with a guardian. Handmade cat goods are sold to fund the shelter. It is closed on Wednesdays.

Nekoyado Hanahana
Gamagori, Aichi18 mi / 29 km
Nekoyado Hanahana is a cat room at Nishiura Onsen in Gamagori, run by the women-only ryokan Hime-yado Hanakazashi and housed in the neighbouring building, about three minutes on foot from the Nishiura Onsen-mae bus stop. It opened in 2019 after the ryokan's proprietress took in a family of stray cats found around the inn, and around a dozen rescued cats, mostly related tabbies, now live in a converted lounge of about 200 square metres with sofas and handmade climbing furniture. The cats are permanent residents rather than adoption candidates, and most are very friendly. Visitors check in with hotel staff and then spend time with the cats unattended, paying per hour with one drink from a vending machine included. Guests of Hanakazashi use the room free of charge. No food is served, and the room occasionally closes on irregular days, so calling ahead is advisable.
