Crown & Bii
Soka, Saitama5.3 mi / 8.5 km
Crown & Bii is a small adoption-focused rescue cat cafe in Shinsatomachi, Soka, which its owner set up in her own home and opened in February 2026 after a crowdfunding campaign. It is reached by bus: take the Tobu bus from the west exit of Takenotsuka Station, or the community bus from Minumadai-Shinsuikoen Station on the Nippori-Toneri Liner, to the Nakacho stop, then walk two minutes. The cats are rescues looking for permanent homes. Because the space is small, only about four visitors can enter at a time, and each visitor pays a contribution toward the cats' living costs. Drinks are served only on an outdoor wooden deck and are suspended in bad weather. Guests sign a consent form and wear socks. It opens on weekends and public holidays, with a break from 2 to 3 PM. Weekday visits can sometimes be arranged by Instagram message or email.
