Hello! I’m Tabby (@Tabby_blog).
Today, I’d like to introduce a special place that offers a different kind of comfort from delicious food – a heartwarming experience. The key theme here is a soothing space shared with cats.
Many people are aware of the healing effects of living with pets, but not everyone is in a position to have a pet at home.
For those who love cats but can’t keep one, why not visit a place that’s perfect for you?
The name of the place is Kujukushima Neko no Sato.
This café is not just an ordinary cat café; it offers every visitor a chance to find a new family member. It is a “cat adoption café.”
When cat cafés first started gaining attention in the media, I was intrigued by the idea and wanted to visit one. However, as someone with allergies, interacting with cats posed a bit of a challenge for me.
The first cat café I visited was in Okinawa, located in a small room inside a building. Unfortunately, I remember it being not very clean, and I couldn’t say it was the best environment for the cats either.
But the “Café Neko no Sato” that I’m introducing today offers a completely new experience. You can sense the pride the staff take in running the café, and even though it has only been open for about a year, it’s clear that the quality and service have already become well-established.
The café is kept impeccably clean, and one of the most impressive features is that the cat area and café area are completely separated by doors. This thoughtful design allows even those with allergies to enjoy watching the adorable cats through a window.
Additionally, the entire café, including the gift shop and restrooms, is meticulously maintained, providing a comfortable environment for all visitors.
Such attention to detail ensures that everyone who visits can feel at ease and satisfied.
Now, let me introduce you to Kujukushima Neko no Sato.

At “Kujukushima Neko no Sato,” many cats greet customers through the windows as they arrive. The café also has a parking lot in front of the store that can accommodate up to four cars.
This is the signboard at the entrance of the shop.
Inside the store or Interior.
As soon as you step inside, you’ll be amazed by how clean the place is. Upon opening the door, you’re greeted by a wide array of adorable cat-themed goods, which are sure to delight every visitor.
I recommend first glancing at these goods as you make your way to greet the cats. They warmly welcome every visitor!
Interacting with pets offers profound lessons that go beyond words.
Animals cannot express their emotions through language, and because of this, we become more sensitive to their subtle changes and begin to deeply consider the reasons behind their actions.
Through pets, we can learn objectivity and develop a third-person perspective.
For example, when children are fighting, saying something like “The pet is worried about you” helps them realize how their actions are affecting those around them. This gives them a chance to reflect on themselves objectively.
In this way, life with pets provides a rich, wordless exchange of emotions and teaches us important skills for building human relationships.

Since it was my first visit that day, I started by ordering an iced coffee.
