Nyan Nyan Karaoke Cafe
Kyoto4.7 mi / 7.5 km
Nyan Nyan Karaoke Cafe is a small karaoke coffee shop combined with a cat cafe in the Yodo area of Fushimi Ward, in southern Kyoto, close to Keihan Yodo Station. It is run by a breeder who specialises in Maine Coons, so the cats are mostly large, long-haired Maine Coons, and the breeder's kittens are sold here. The owner says the parent cats have been tested for HCM, PK deficiency and PKD. Visitors can come just to spend time with the cats. There is an entry fee plus a charge for every 10 minutes, or a free-time plan with unlimited soft drinks, coffee and tea. Visitors can also sing karaoke and buy treats to feed the cats, and there are set feeding times in the morning and late afternoon. The shop is non-smoking and has free Wi-Fi and power outlets.

Walk-ins are welcome, reservations can be made, and there is no age limit. The cafe opens every day.

Kyoto Hyo-neko no Mori

In July 2026 it moved about a minute's walk from its former Shinkyogoku site and now shares a floor with the same company's Kyoto Mameshiba Cafe; the company's owl cafe is also close by, and a receipt from either gives a small discount. Tickets are sold at the counter on the day only, with no phone or online reservations, and cover 30 minutes and one drink, with extensions in 10-minute steps. Children aged 4 to 12 pay a reduced rate and must come with a guardian, and children under 4 are not admitted. There is no regular closing day, and socks are required.
