Kagineko no Shippo
Nakanojo, Gunma
Kagineko no Shippo is a small cat cafe in Nakanojo, a hot spring and arts town in the Agatsuma area of northwest Gunma, about 10 minutes on foot from JR Nakanojo Station on the Agatsuma Line. It opened in May 2026 in the premises of a former cafe, and combines a cafe menu with a space where visitors can play with the resident cats, with seasonal drinks such as cream soda served in summer. The building is in a residential area that car navigation may struggle with, so the cafe posts walking directions from the station; there is parking for about three cars. It opens on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 11 AM to 4 PM, and occasional closures are announced in a monthly calendar on its Instagram account, which is worth checking before a visit.
