Information of Kichijoji 吉祥寺 Branch
Cafe Name 猫カフェきゃりこNeko Cafe Calico Cat Cafe Calico
Author's experience When I went to other cat cafes that were small rooms, most of the cats were sleeping or looked sleepy in some cases. But at the Calico Shinjuku Branch, it is easier to meet young and lively cats because of the large number and different types of cats in the cafe.
The cafe room is clean and tidy. The fact that the cafe is spread between two floors provides for a spacious and relaxing atmosphere. A good point was the knowledgeable staff. They taught me the different personality of the cats and how to play with them.
Photos were taken in 2014. Admission is as of February 2021.
