Cat Cafe "Manekineko"

Cat Cafe Manekineko is a cozy weekend retreat in Hiroshima's Nishi Ward, welcoming visitors to spend time with more than ten resident cats in a relaxed, smoke-free environment. The cafe operates on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, making it a popular destination for locals and travelers looking to unwind with feline companions. Guests are free to photograph the cats without flash, though the cafe kindly asks that sleeping cats not be disturbed or forced into cuddles. Children must be elementary school age or older to visit. Manekineko celebrates special "Nyan Nyan Days" on the 2nd and 22nd of each month, offering event items at special prices. Located on the first floor of the Maruyama Building in Misasamachi, this charming spot provides a gentle escape where cats set the pace.
