Cat Cafes in Mie

Komono

Yunoyama Hogo Neko Cafe Matatabian is a rescue cat cafe in a wooden, cottage-like building near Yunoyama Onsen Station in Komono, at the foot of the Suzuka Mountains, about 460 metres from the station. It opened in July 2016 to support trap-neuter-return work and find homes for rescued cats. After the original operator closed the cafe in June 2026, the Mie animal rescue group Dep took it over and reopened it on 15 August 2026, with its own rescued cats waiting for adoption. Visits are charged by time, with lower rates for children and seniors, and drinks are free. Visitors are asked to wear socks. Opening days and hours under the new management are posted on the cafe's Instagram account, so check there before visiting. There is parking on site.

Matsusaka

Hogo Neko Cafe Hinataboko is a rescue cat cafe in Minamimachi, Matsusaka, next door to a curry restaurant. Its cats are rescues waiting for adoptive families, and the cafe also lists them on adoption websites. Visits are fully booked: call the reservation line by the day before, as walk-ins are not accepted. Time with the cats is charged per hour, with extensions in 10-minute units, and socks are required. Children of elementary school age and younger are not admitted, except for families applying to adopt. The cafe opens in the afternoon and early evening on days announced in advance, with irregular closing days, and the schedule and newest cats are posted on Instagram. Parking for five cars is available.
