Cat Cafes in Kirishima, Kagoshima

Kirishima, Kagoshima

Neko Hana Cafe Tenon is a very small cat cafe attached to a flower shop in Kokubuminato, Kirishima. Around a dozen rescued cats live in the room, and most are unusually affectionate, climbing onto visitors' laps soon after they sit down. Each booking is private: one group of up to three people at a time, reserved by phone by the day before, as same-day visits and walk-ins are not accepted. Visits are charged for 30 or 50 minutes, with short extensions possible. No food or drinks are served; instead each visitor receives fresh flowers on the way out. Cat treats are sold at the entrance. Visitors are asked to wear socks and masks, and children in the third grade of elementary school or younger must come with an adult, who makes the booking. There is parking for one car in front of the shop. The cafe is closed on Mondays.
