Cat Cafe MOFF Hiroshima

Cat cafes are one of Japan’s great gifts to the travelling animal lover, and MOFF’s Hiroshima branch in the SHIMINT complex delivers the formula at its most polished: a calm, spotless lounge where a resident crew of cats holds court and humans pay happily for the privilege of their company.

An hour among cats

The residents span the breeds cat internet dreams are made of, from ragdolls and munchkins to majestic Maine coons, each with a personality regulars know by name. You settle onto sofas or floor cushions, and the cats decide the rest; treats available for purchase dramatically improve your negotiating position. Staff keep interactions gentle, with house rules protecting sleeping cats, which keeps the room genuinely relaxed for animals and visitors alike.

When it hits the spot

A cat cafe hour is the perfect circuit breaker in a travel day, especially for anyone missing pets at home. The cafe’s central location makes it an easy add between Hiroshima’s sights, and being indoors, it rescues rainy afternoons. Time based pricing and drink details are on the booking page.

Getting there

SHIMINT sits in central Hiroshima near the city’s new stadium park precinct, an easy tram ride from Hiroshima Station or a walk from the Kamiyacho and Hondori area where most visitors already roam.
