Hidamari no Shippo
Kanda, Fukuoka
Hidamari no Shippo is an adoption-focused cat cafe in Kanda, Kanda Town, run by the nearby Hanafusa Animal Hospital. It is about 1.2 km from Kanda Station and around 30 minutes by car from Kokura Station, and has a large car park. It opened in May 2023, and around six cats are usually in the cafe room, all looking for new homes; the number changes with the cats' health. Adoption requires meeting conditions on the home environment and an interview with staff. Entry is charged per hour with 30-minute extensions, children of elementary school age and younger pay a reduced rate, and one drink order is required, with proceeds supporting the rescue work. Visitors disinfect their hands and change into slippers or socks before entering. The cafe opens in the morning, closes in the early afternoon, and is closed on Wednesdays, with occasional extra closures.
