Although there's a bit of preparation required before your visit—make sure to wear socks as shoes are not allowed indoors and consider calling ahead for parking guidance—once you settle in, the experience is incredibly rewarding. One guest expressed, '時を忘れるくらい癒やされます。' (I was so healed that I forgot the time). Just be mindful of the time, especially if you want to extend your enchanting stay amidst the cats.

No need to worry if you’re not able to hold the cats; many will come to you if they feel comfortable.
