Cat Cafes in Soka, Saitama

Soka, Saitama

ANELLA CAFE Soka Yatsuka is a rescue cat cafe two minutes on foot from Yatsuka Station on the Tobu Skytree Line in Soka. Opened in spring 2025 as a branch of the ANELLA chain, it is also a welfare workplace where staff with disabilities help look after the cats. Around 14 rescued cats live here, mostly Japanese mixes along with some pedigree cats such as a Norwegian Forest Cat, and all of them are looking for new homes through ANELLA's adoption process. Visits are charged per 30 minutes or per hour, with a discounted two-hour plan, lower rates for elementary school children and visitors with disabilities, and free entry for preschoolers. The cafe is open every day from midday, and cards, e-money and QR payments are accepted. Visitors can use the coin parking in front of the building.

Soka, Saitama

Crown & Bii is a small adoption-focused rescue cat cafe in Shinsatomachi, Soka, which its owner set up in her own home and opened in February 2026 after a crowdfunding campaign. It is reached by bus: take the Tobu bus from the west exit of Takenotsuka Station, or the community bus from Minumadai-Shinsuikoen Station on the Nippori-Toneri Liner, to the Nakacho stop, then walk two minutes. The cats are rescues looking for permanent homes. Because the space is small, only about four visitors can enter at a time, and each visitor pays a contribution toward the cats' living costs. Drinks are served only on an outdoor wooden deck and are suspended in bad weather. Guests sign a consent form and wear socks. It opens on weekends and public holidays, with a break from 2 to 3 PM. Weekday visits can sometimes be arranged by Instagram message or email.
