Hiroshima Neko Bugyo Cat Café (廣島ねこ奉行　猫カフェ)

Hiroshima Neko Bugyo Cat Café is located on Hondori near the Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Park. You can rest and enjoy time with cats for ¥950 (¥1,100 with a drink) for 30 minutes. Unlike most cat cafés, Hiroshima Neko Bugyo lets you interact with sheltered cats that have been taken in from dangerous living conditions. The admission and café fees are used to pay for the protected cats’ food and medical care.

All of their cats are protected cats waiting to be fostered.
Please refrain from chasing the cats or excessively trying to hug them.

Moment of Joy

Almost all of the shelter cats at the Hiroshima Neko Bugyo Cat Cafe are native Japanese cats. Some even have short tails, which is rare in the West. Besides the regular café menu, the cat café sells cat treats that many of the cats love. This is an excellent spot for cat lovers and animal lovers alike.
