Love Neko Cat Cafe

Love Neko Cat Cafe holds the distinction of being Hokkaido’s first cat cafe, offering a quaint and cozy retreat in the bustling downtown area near Odori Station. This charming spot invites visitors into a serene environment where they can enjoy the company of friendly cats while sipping on drinks from an optional drink bar, with a simple pricing system starting at 700 yen for 30 minutes or 1,500 yen for an hour (as of March 1, 2025, following a recent adjustment due to rising costs). The cafe, run by a warm and dedicated proprietor, enforces standard Japanese cat cafe rules—no shoes, hand washing before entry, and no picking up the cats—ensuring a peaceful experience for both felines and guests. With its subtle signage and upstairs location, it’s a hidden gem perfect for cat lovers seeking a relaxing break in Sapporo’s central district.
