Cat Cafes in Yonago, Tottori

Yonago, Tottori

NEKO CAFE Kuro is a rescue cat cafe in the Kaike Onsen hot spring area of Yonago, about 2 minutes on foot from the Kaike Onsen Kanko Center bus stop. The cat room is separate from the cafe space, so the cafe can also be used on its own, and cat-themed goods are sold there. Up to about 15 rescued cats of varied breeds and temperaments live in the cat room, and the cafe looks for adoptive homes for them. Visits are paid in advance, with a 60-minute course that includes one drink, a cheaper 20-minute trial course and extensions in 15-minute steps; children and weekdays have lower rates. A limited number of treats can be bought each day. Socks must be worn in the cat room. Reservations are not taken, and there are two parking spaces near the shop. The cafe is closed on Thursdays.

Chiisana Neko Cafe is a small breeder-run cat cafe in Sada, in the Yodoe area of eastern Yonago, where the cats on duty are kittens under one year old. The room is booked by a single group at a time, so visitors have the kittens to themselves. Breeds have included Minuets, Munchkins, British and Persian cats and Scottish Folds, and the manager is an odd-eyed Minuet. The business is registered as a cat breeder, and the kittens are sold to new homes. Visits are charged by the hour with a drink included, with a higher rate at weekends and on holidays. Bookings are taken by phone only, and the cafe is closed on Wednesdays. It also offers cat boarding and is run by the same owners as Cat Cafe Odd Eye in Kawasaki.
