Sakaide, Kagawa · 1.3 mi / 2.0 km

Honmachi Itchome Cafe is a cafe in Honmachi, Sakaide, run by Kamada Soy Sauce, a brewery founded in 1789, on the grounds of its head office. Alongside the dining room it has a cat room called Neko Park, where visitors can sit with five rescued cats; the dining room also has a counter with a view into the room. The cats came from partner rescue shelters, including Neko Republic in Osaka, Hogoneko House Sora and Soramame House in Kagawa, and the cafe does not take in or rehome cats itself. The menu uses the company's soy sauce in dishes such as egg-on-rice, dashi chazuke, a weekly lunch and soy sauce desserts, served on Hasami porcelain. Orders are placed by QR code and payment is cashless only. The cafe opens Tuesday to Saturday except public holidays, and the cats may not be out if they are unwell.

Neko no Ajito is a rescue cat cafe in Sue, Ayagawa, a few minutes by car from AEON Mall Ayagawa. It opened at the end of July 2026 in a converted former massage shop, taking in the cats of necobokko CAFE in Tadotsu, which closed that March, and its name means "the cats' hideout". The cat area is divided into small semi-private rooms with a playful, ship-like interior. Time with the cats is charged per 30 minutes, and there is a discounted free-time option on weekdays. Preschool children can visit in a private room that families book for themselves. The cafe side serves a small daily lunch of home-style obanzai dishes and freshly ground coffee, and there are seats where guests can eat and watch the cats without entering the cat area, so food-only visits are welcome. The cats are up for adoption. The cafe is closed on Tuesdays.

Takamatsu, Kagawa · 13 mi / 20 km

SPHYNX CAT CAFE is a small cat cafe in Konyamachi, central Takamatsu, dedicated to hairless cats. Opened in September 2023 by a breeder, it is home to about five Sphynx and Elf cats, a curl-eared hairless breed, which are known for being sociable and enjoying close contact; their warm, bare skin also makes the cafe an option for some visitors who react to fur. Visits are by reservation only, and each booking has the room to itself, so one group at a time spends the session with the cats and the owner. The charge is per person per hour. Kittens bred by the owner are raised at the cafe until about six months old and then sold to new homes, and visiting first is encouraged before deciding. Visitors must be 11 or older, flash photography is not allowed, and there is no parking.
