Cat Cafe Puchi Marry AEON Mall Kahoku

Kanazawa, Ishikawa · 12 mi / 19 km

Cat Cafe nyanchi is a small cat cafe in Yokaichidemachi, in the south-west of Kanazawa, about 14 minutes on foot from Nishi-Kanazawa Station. It moved to its current, smaller premises in February 2026, with a few parking spaces in front on a busy road. The cats are rescued cats and they live here as house cats rather than trained cafe cats, so some are lively and some prefer to nap, while treats bought at the counter bring the whole room running. Visits are charged by time, drinks can be ordered separately, socks are required and picking up the cats is not allowed. The cafe is for elementary school children and older, and preschoolers can visit only on kids' days on the second and fourth Sundays. Because the room is small, booking ahead is requested, and opening times sometimes change at short notice and are announced on social media.

The owner explains the cats and the house rules carefully to first-time visitors. Visits are charged for 30 or 60 minutes with a drink included, with 15-minute extensions, cat treats can be bought, and toys can be used free of charge. The cafe runs a points card with double points on the 22nd of each month, Japan's cat day. It is listed as open every day from 10 AM until late evening, but hours are sometimes shortened, so checking Instagram before visiting is advised. Parking is very limited.

Himi, Toyama · 18 mi / 30 km

MiiA Poche Nekohan is an adoption-focused rescue cat cafe in Yanaida, Himi, opened in late 2025 by a volunteer from a local rescue group who had long fostered and bottle-fed kittens. All the cats are rescues waiting for new homes, often including playful kittens, and there is a separate room where cats can retreat when they want a rest. Adoption follows an interview, a home trial and a formal contract, and staff explain each cat and the process to interested visitors. Visits are charged per 30 minutes or per hour with a drink, with lower rates for preschool children, and drinks include grape juice from a local Himi farm. Part of the fee goes to the cats' care. The cafe also offers boarding for pet cats. It closes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Wednesday instead when either falls on a public holiday.

Shika · 20 mi / 33 km

Kissa Nekoya is a small coffee shop in Takahama, Shika, on the Noto Peninsula, near the Shika Shogakko-mae bus stop, where rescued cats share the dining room with customers. It is effectively the only cat cafe in Noto, and its focus is cat rescue: former strays and kittens live here while they wait for new homes. Usually two or three cats and, in season, litters of kittens are in the room, and they wander between the sofa and the tables, so visitors can stroke or hold them while waiting for their food. There is no cat fee; visitors simply order from the menu, which includes morning sets, lunch, siphon coffee, chiffon cake and an old-style firm pudding. Seating is limited to two tables and a counter, so there may be a wait when it is busy. It is closed on Wednesdays.
