Neco Republic Shiga
Aisho, Shiga
Neco Republic Shiga is the Shiga branch of Neco Republic, a national chain of rescue cat cafes that aims to end the culling of cats in Japan. It occupies the second floor above a Kumon classroom in Echigawa, Aisho, in the Koto area between Hikone and Higashiomi, and has its own parking. The cats, many of them kittens and young cats along with some shy adults, are all looking for homes, so every day works as an adoption event. Visitors can go into the cat rooms for a timed visit and buy treats for the cats, or stay in the spacious cafe area, which has manga and looks into the cat rooms through glass, and order drinks and light meals such as bagel plates and pound cake. The cafe closes on Mondays and Thursdays, opening on public holidays, and closes an hour earlier on Sundays and holidays.
