Chanson is a rescue cat cafe in Taketoyo on the Chita Peninsula, about seven minutes on foot from Kami-Age Station on the Meitetsu Kowa Line and 15 minutes from JR Taketoyo Station. Around 40 cats live here. They are ownerless cats taken in, neutered and cared for by the local Taketoyo community cat group, and they work as cat staff while waiting for new homes. Adoption enquiries are accepted all year. The cafe has a regular seating area where guests can watch the cats over a drink, and a separate cat room for those who want to interact; both are charged per hour with one drink included, with lower rates for elementary school children and younger. Food is served, and cat treats are sold from a capsule machine. Visits after 5 PM require a same-day booking made by 3 PM. The cafe is currently closed on Tuesdays.

Mihama, Aichi · 8 mi / 13 km

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.

Nishio, Aichi · 11 mi / 17 km

Soramachi Cafe and Rescue Cat Cafe Nekomachi is a rescue cat cafe in a 90-year-old house in Heisakacho, Nishio, on the corner of a five-way junction; the Heisaka Nishiguchi bus stop is right outside, and there is parking for 8 or 9 cars.

Entry is by a per-person donation into the box in the cat room, with no time limit, though guests are asked to share the space when it is busy; ordering a drink is optional. The cafe has taken in hundreds of cats since it opened. It is open from 10 AM to 6 PM and closed on Thursdays unless they fall on a public holiday.

Around nine cats live in the room, including a Munchkin, a Siberian and an Oriental. Visits are charged per 30 minutes with free self-service drinks from a fridge in the room, and cat treats can be bought at the counter. The room is small, so it can feel busy with more than a couple of groups. The pet shop sells kittens and puppies. The cafe is open every day, with earlier opening at weekends and on holidays, and last entry is 30 minutes before closing.

Yokkaichi · 14 mi / 22 km

Hogo Neko Cafe Neko no Mori is a rescue cat cafe in Nakagawara, Yokkaichi, set up and run by a local spay and neuter clinic and Koma Animal Hospital.

The cats are rescues, many from trap-neuter-return work, and those looking for homes can be adopted. Visits are fully booked in advance online or by phone in the morning, in 40-minute sessions starting on the hour for up to eight people, so the cats get a 20-minute rest each hour. The entry fee is per person and includes a welcome drink from a vending machine; no food is served. Elementary school children must come with an adult, and preschool children are not admitted. The cafe is closed on Mondays and Thursdays unless they fall on a holiday.
