Cat Cafes in Himi, Toyama

Himi, Toyama

Naon is a rescue cat and mame shiba cafe in Wakigata, in the Nadaura coastal district of northern Himi, and one of the few places in Toyama where visitors can meet both cats and dogs. Rescued cats share the play area with a pack of friendly mame shiba, and the eating area is kept separate from the animal space for hygiene. The rescued cats can be adopted, and the owners also breed and sell mame shiba puppies. Time with the animals is charged by time, and bookings are given priority when it is busy. The cafe serves full meals as well as drinks and desserts, with fluffy omurice and Korean-style sweets among the popular dishes, and a nail salon is run on the same premises. It closes on Mondays and Thursdays and opens until 8 PM on weekends and holidays. Parking is available at the community hall next door.

MiiA Poche Nekohan is an adoption-focused rescue cat cafe in Yanaida, Himi, opened in late 2025 by a volunteer from a local rescue group who had long fostered and bottle-fed kittens. All the cats are rescues waiting for new homes, often including playful kittens, and there is a separate room where cats can retreat when they want a rest. Adoption follows an interview, a home trial and a formal contract, and staff explain each cat and the process to interested visitors. Visits are charged per 30 minutes or per hour with a drink, with lower rates for preschool children, and drinks include grape juice from a local Himi farm. Part of the fee goes to the cats' care. The cafe also offers boarding for pet cats. It closes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Wednesday instead when either falls on a public holiday.
