Cat Cafe Mi is a cat cafe on the second floor of the Gekko Building in Anesaki-Higashi, Ichihara, about two minutes on foot from Anegasaki Station on the JR Uchibo Line, with six parking spaces. Around 15 cats live at the cafe, and some of them, including purebreds such as American Shorthairs, Siberians, Maine Coons and Ragdolls, are offered to new homes through adoption events. Visits are charged by plan, from 30 minutes up to three hours, with a drink and a snack included in the longer plans and a free-time option on weekdays. Cat treats can be bought on site. Young children are welcome as long as a guardian supervises them. On weekdays the cafe opens in the afternoon, while weekends and holidays have full-day hours, and it is closed on Thursdays.

Ichihara, Chiba

HOGO Cafe&Bar is a cafe and bar with rescue cats in the residential Aobadai area of Ichihara, about 1.4 km from Anegasaki Station on the JR Uchibo Line. Opened in October 2024, it runs as an ordinary cafe-bar rather than a cat cafe: there is no entry or time charge, and guests can ask staff to show them to a separate room where around ten rescue cats live. Time in the cat room may be limited to one hour when the cafe is busy. Food and drinks are priced as at a regular cafe, and most dishes are inexpensive. The cafe shares photos and videos of its cats on Instagram, which is also the place to check current opening days and times.
