Nekotachi no Ie
Tamaki
Nekotachi no Ie is a rescue cat cafe on the second floor of a log-house builder's showroom in Katsuta, Tamaki, a short drive west of Ise. It opened in May 2014, and all of its cats were rescued by volunteer groups, many of them from situations where they had nowhere to go or faced being put down. The room has a wooden log-house interior, and the cats can be adopted through the cafe's own process. Visits are charged by time and include free self-service drinks, and staff explain how to handle the cats on arrival; picking the cats up is not allowed. The cafe also offers cat boarding. It is closed on Tuesdays, with last entry 30 minutes before closing, and any extra closures or shorter hours are announced on Instagram and X.
