rescue cat cafe
The only cafe in Japan where you can enjoy the company of a capybara, the world’s largest living rodent.
Fans of trains and felines enjoyed a trip with rescue cats recently, all for a good cause.
Last month, we introduced you to Save Cat Cafe, one of Osaka’s first rescue cat cafes, which is run similarly to another cafe which opened recently in New York City.
Cat cafes are all over Japan, and allow petless cat lovers to spend some quality time with the furry felines they so adore. We’re particularly happy to see this recent boom of rescue cat cafes take off, as cafe chain Neco Republic, which already has locations in Osaka and Gifu Prefectures, is ready to open up a third branch, this time in Tokyo.
