Cat Cafe Tamayura

Tamayura is a protective cat café nestled in the heart of Tokyo’s Nihonbashi Ningyocho district, just a three-minute walk from Ningyocho Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya and Toei Asakusa lines. Open weekdays from 12 PM to 8 PM without reservations and weekends/holidays from 12 PM to 8 PM with phone bookings starting at noon, this cozy third-floor retreat in Chuo-ku welcomes visitors to unwind with its adoptable rescue cats. Since opening in November 2017, Tamayura has been a haven where cats—each having received love from rescuers, fosters, and volunteers—await their forever homes, with the café’s staff and guests encouraged to shower them with affection to ease their transition to new families. Beyond cuddles, it fosters a community spirit, sharing adoption success stories from 2017 onward and offering a simple yet heartfelt space for cat lovers to connect with these furry residents.
