Hogonyan Dolce Room Kawaii
Hagi, Yamaguchi
Hogonyan Dolce Room Kawaii is a rescue cat cafe in a renovated house about 100 years old in Hamasaki, Hagi's preserved historic port district near the sea, about four minutes by car from Higashi-Hagi Station. It has two separate rooms: the cat room, where visitors play with friendly rescue cats that often sit on laps and shoulders, and the dolce room, where homemade sweets and drinks made with gentle ingredients are served while watching the cats through glass. Cat room visits are charged per person, with lower rates for children, and cat treats can be bought. There is no age limit, so families with babies are welcome, and the building is wheelchair accessible. The cats are up for adoption, and the cafe also runs a pet hotel for cats and dogs. Evening visits can be booked in advance. It is closed on Thursdays, and has its own car park.
