Cat Cafes in Fujieda, Shizuoka

Fujieda, Shizuoka

Cat Cafe Irori is a cat cafe centred on rescued cats and cats looking for new homes, on the ground floor of a building about three minutes on foot from the north exit of JR Fujieda Station. Opened in 2020, it has a relaxed room where about a dozen cats, all rescues, move around freely, and cats can be adopted by arrangement with the staff. Visits are charged per 30 minutes with free drinks from a self-service vending machine, with a capped maximum on weekdays and a higher rate on weekends and holidays, and children up to high school age pay less. Cat treats are sold in limited numbers on an honour system, and cat food and goods are also on sale. The cafe has no parking, but a discount is given with a nearby coin parking ticket. It closes on Tuesdays and occasionally hosts cat yoga classes.

Fujieda, Shizuoka

Biankanaitsu, also called Inuneko no Ouchi, is a rescue cat and dog house in Ushio, in the north of Fujieda, a few minutes by car from the Fujieda-Okabe interchange of the Shin-Tomei Expressway. A volunteer-run rescue that has looked after cats in Fujieda since 2017, it moved into this detached house in January 2025, with rescued dogs on the ground floor and rescued cats upstairs. The cats include former strays, retired breeding cats and cats from hoarding cases, and all are looking for adopters, though visitors who only want to spend time with them are welcome. Visits are charged per 30 or 60 minutes with one drink, payment is cash only, no food is served, and the room can be booked privately. Opening days vary, so check the calendar or Instagram before visiting. A pet hotel and dog daycare run on the same site.
