Cat Cafes in Hikone, Shiga

Hikone, Shiga

Lily Blanc Cat Space is a cat cafe and cattery in Banba, Hikone, in a building reached by stairs beside a small car park with three spaces, near the Cainz home centre. Because it also sells cats, the room usually has many kittens and young pedigree cats, such as Munchkins, Minuets, British Shorthairs, Siberians, Bengals and Abyssinians, so the line-up changes often. Visitors pay an entry fee per 30 minutes, higher on weekends and holidays, plus one drink, with extensions charged in 10-minute steps and treats sold for the cats. Cats may be held, and in warmer months there is a terrace where visitors can sit with the cats outdoors. Staff advise anyone interested in buying a kitten or adult cat. Last entry is 90 minutes before closing, and closing days vary each month, with a calendar posted on Instagram and the website.
