Cat Cafes in Miyakojima, Okinawa

Miyakojima, Okinawa

Terunekoya, also called Healing Cat Room, is a small rescue cat cafe in a detached house in the Shimoji area of Miyako Island, and the only cafe of its kind on the island. The owner rescues local cats, and the cats in the house are affectionate and used to visitors, with families wanted for them every day; adoption conditions are explained on Instagram. Visits are by reservation through an Instagram message, which keeps numbers small and gives visitors time with the cats, and treats can be given. Opening days vary and are posted in the cafe's Instagram highlights together with the rules and fees. It is a popular stop for travellers on rainy days.
