Cat Cafes in Miyakonojo, Miyazaki

Miyakonojo, Miyazaki

Neko Cafe f.Non is a cat cafe in an ordinary house in a residential area of Minamiyokoichi, Miyakonojo, about 5 minutes on foot from the Tobaru-danchi bus stop and roughly 2.6 km from Nishi-Miyakonojo Station. Opened in 2020 as the first house-style cat cafe in Miyazaki Prefecture, it has a relaxed home setting where many cats, including foreign and less common breeds, wander freely and can be stroked. Visits are charged for the first 30 minutes and then in 10-minute steps, with a drink included, and the prices are low. There is no age limit, so families with small children often visit, and a point card gives small gifts to regulars. The cafe opens on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, and on weekdays takes group bookings only. Parking is limited.

Miyakonojo, Miyazaki

Utataneko is a coffee house with a cat room in Takagi, Miyakonojo, set in a traditional-style detached house with views over the surrounding fields. The owner, a lover of cats and books, added the cat room in October 2017, and the cafe keeps shelves of books alongside a menu of coffee, stewed hamburger steak with grilled vegetables and other home-style dishes. The cats can be watched from the cafe, and guests whose order reaches a set amount can go into the cat room after paying to stroke and play with a small group of resident cats. Shoes come off at the entrance. Preschool children cannot enter the cat room. The cafe is closed Monday to Wednesday and sometimes closes at short notice, so it is worth checking before a visit.
