Nekonote
Welcome to Nekonote, a delightful cat café nestled in the vibrant heart of Kashiwa, Japan. Located just a short 10-minute walk from Kashiwa Station, this cozy refuge for cat lovers is designed to provide a unique, interactive experience with a range of adorable feline companions.
As you step into the café, the first thing that strikes you is the inviting atmosphere. With an array of cats sprawled comfortably across the floor and furniture, it feels like you're entering a cat wonderland. The café offers a sanctuary for approximately 20 different cats, many of which are exotic breeds, and all of them radiate friendliness and charm. You might find one of them curling up on your lap or playfully batting at a ball nearby, creating a truly immersive experience.
Before you settle down, you’ll slip off your shoes and don some provided slippers—a quaint ritual that adds to the café's homey vibe. Each guest is given the opportunity to wash their hands and select their choice of drink before embarking on an hour filled with cuddles, purrs, and playful antics.
One charming aspect of Nekonote is the interactive feeding experience. For a modest addition to your entrance fee, you can opt to spend some quality time feeding the cats with delightful chicken treats, ensuring a veritable cat huddle around you. This creates not just an enjoyable time for you, but also a hearty feast for these furry friends.
The café does an excellent job of balancing the playful nature of cats—an environment created specifically for both playful kittens and calm adult cats. Guests rave about this intimate setting, where you can really connect with the cats as they show affection, purring contentedly as you stroke their fur. One visitor remarked on the overwhelming joy of having numerous cats gather around, creating a true "cat haram" effect.
While the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, it's worth mentioning that some visitors noted the need for enhanced health monitoring of the cats. A few have appeared to have mild health issues, underscoring the importance of ongoing care. Nevertheless, many guests have praised the staff's warm demeanor and how they handle every interaction with care, ready to guide you through your visit.
In essence, Nekonote offers a unique, authentic experience that goes beyond simply sipping a drink in the company of cats. It's a chance to unwind in an environment teeming with vibrant feline energy and genuine affection. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this cat café promises to leave you with unforgettable memories filled with love and the joyous company of cats.
So why wait? Gather your friends or come solo, where you’ll be met with welcoming paws and playful spirits ready to make your day that much brighter!
