Cat Cafes in Kakogawa, Hyogo

Kakogawa, Hyogo

Marble CAFE is an adoption-focused rescue cat cafe in Noguchi-cho, Kakogawa, about 20 minutes on foot from the south exit of JR Kakogawa Station. It is run by a local real estate company. The cafe opened in Takasago in November 2017 and moved to Kakogawa in June 2022. Its cat room has held around two dozen rescued cats, all looking for new homes, and adoption events are held regularly. The cat room is separate from the cafe space and is charged per 30 minutes with a drink bar included. Visitors must be 10 or older, children need a guardian, and socks are required. Lunch is no longer served. Opening days have changed over time, so it is best to check the cafe's Instagram before visiting.

Kakogawa, Hyogo

Cat Cafe nya-go is a rescue cat cafe in a detached house in Higashikanki-cho, Kakogawa, just off the Kakogawa Bypass near the Kakogawa-Nishizume interchange and marked by a black cat motif on its wall. About 12 cats live in the cat room, all of them rescued strays, and the owner looks after them as house cats rather than cafe stock. The cat room is charged as a flat fee with no time limit and no reservation, and drinks are discounted on the same day. The front cafe can also be used on its own and sells cat-themed handmade goods by local makers. Unusually for a cat cafe, children of all ages are welcome. Socks are required and payment is cash only. The cats are not available for adoption. The cafe is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and public holidays.
