Cat Cafe MOCHA Akihabara at Akihabara, Tokyo

Cosy log-house cat cafe on Chuo Street in Akihabara, with many cat breeds and entry from age 3.

Cat Cafe MOCHA Akihabara is the Akihabara branch of the MOCHA cat cafe chain, sitting on the second floor of the Akihabara SIL Building on Chuo Street. The room is built in a cosy log-house style, designed to feel comfortable for both the resident cats and the humans visiting them, with a calm cafe-like atmosphere rather than a sterile petting zoo. The branch opened in October 2016 and welcomes walk-ins, with no reservation required.\n\nThe cafe is home to many breeds of cat, with staff on hand to introduce them and to make sure interactions stay gentle. Entry is permitted from age 3, with children under junior-high age requiring a guardian and a cap of three children per adult. Opening hours run from 10am to 9pm with last entry at 8:30pm, every day of the year, which makes it a handy stop for a midday break or an evening unwind.\n\nIf you need a quiet pause from the buzz of Electric Town, MOCHA is one of the most reliable cat cafes in central Tokyo. Walk in, take a seat, and let the cats decide how the visit goes.
