On the 8th and 9th floors of a skyscraper in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, you’ll find Cat Cafe Mocha. This place is a cat connoisseur’s paradise. If you love cats, this place will definitely be somewhere you’ll need to check out. It is two levels of super chic, stylish cat cafe filled with a modern vibe, free drinks, and of course… cats… and sometimes in costumes.
On this occasion, we visited during October when the cats were dressed up in cute little costumes. This one was a police officer cat and was super well behaved. He looked as though he actually may have enjoyed the costume. We assume this was a seasonal event for Halloween, as when we went during the spring the following year, the cats were not in costume anymore (but they were still just as cute).
The atmosphere is high class and soothing. They play calming music. The lighting is soft and spot lit. The furniture is all cat friendly but very modern. And the views are incredible! Since you’re looking out the 8th or 9th floor, you can see the beautiful lights of Shibuya, sparkling below you. As the cats leap around from hanging baskets or climb a wooden tree sculpture, you just feel happy. You can pay a little extra to feed the cats treats, or you can just enjoy the cats’ company. They even have toys so that you can play with the cats. No matter what you’re doing there, it’s relaxing and enjoyable.
We originally planned to only be here for maybe 20 minutes, but we really got drawn in and stayed for over an hour. They give you sanitized slippers when you walk in the door and a locker in which to place your personal items. You pay per 15 minutes, so definitely watch that clock if you’re on a budget. You can even buy little souvenirs to take home and show your friends.
Overall, this was one of my favorite places to relax in Japan. They have several locations around Tokyo and other parts of Japan, so make sure to check them out on your next visit!
