“Cat Café Inn Kuchan no Ie” in Otaru, Hokkaido is a small inn that operates a cat cafe and a simple lodging in one building. The official website states that the facility welcomes 8 purebred cats, and the Otaru accommodation list also confirms that there are 2 rooms in total for 4 people.
Spend time with 8 cats at a cat cafe
Interacting with cats will mainly take place in the dedicated space of the attached cat cafe. Officially, it is introduced as a cat cafe that can be used by a small number of people and in an environment that is almost private depending on the situation. Otaru also informs guests that they have preferential rates at the cat cafe.
Because there is a clear dedicated space for interaction, this site classifies it as B.Since we do not guarantee that cats will enter the guest room as an accommodation service, we will not rate it as A.Please be sure to check whether the accommodation plan you are booking includes the use of the cat cafe or if it is an additional charge.
Check the cat cafe rules first
At cat cafes, you are advised that clothes may get dirty due to cat vomit or markings. Avoid clothes that can get dirty, and prepare a change of clothes and adhesive cleaner in case cat hair gets stuck easily.
Terms and conditions for holding, snacking, taking photos, and using children will be as explained on the day. If the cat moves to a shelf or bed, do not chase it and do not give it human food or drink. Exhibition registration information for animal handling businesses is also published on the official website.
Small inn with 2 rooms, maximum of 4 people
According to Otaru’s information, there are 2 guest rooms, and the capacity is 4 people. There are also pricing options for single occupancy, so you can consider it even if you are traveling alone. The reservation site provides guest rooms with a pot, shared bathroom, hair dryer, bedding, and free Wi-Fi.
Since it is a small simple lodging, it is best not to expect a private bathroom, elevator, or 24-hour front desk like a large hotel. Please check shared bathroom/toilet, check-in time, and luggage storage when making a reservation.
