This article is a research list of inns where the conditions could be confirmed as of 2026-08-16, based on Neko Yado Research’s published individual articles and attribute audits. Please check the official information of each inn before making a reservation, as business hours, cat availability, plans, and transportation conditions may change.
Apart from cats walking through the common areas of an inn, there are also inns that have or collaborate with cat cafes, cat salons, cat shelters, etc.
Correction on 2026-10-10: Moved Mad Cat Hostel Osaka from the eligible dedicated-facility list to a shared-space comparison because an adjoining dedicated cat facility has not been confirmed. The original information confirmation date remains 2026-08-16.

Criteria for posting this list
This list includes inns whose individual articles confirm a dedicated cat facility separate from the accommodation space, visiting times and opportunities to meet cats, regardless of the facility name.
“You can meet cats,” “you can touch them,” and “cats sometimes come to the guest room” are different conditions. A/B/C on this site indicates the distance to the cat, and does not indicate the quality or recommendation ranking of the accommodation.

Separately view cat cafes, cat shelters, and cat inns
There are different mechanisms for having a resident cat in the accommodation, having a cat cafe attached to the accommodation, and combining rescue cat activities and lodging. This list includes accommodations where the facility provides information on cat spaces available to guests and points of contact with rescue cats, and does not include accommodations that only have unrelated cat cafes nearby. It is necessary to check with each facility about admission fees, reservation limits, age restrictions, hygiene rules such as socks, and whether or not adoption consultation is possible.
How to read reference materials
The role of the facility and the terms of use are based on the official guide, and the distance to the cat is confirmed in the linked individual research article. Even at facilities that engage in rescue cat activities, we do not judge that lodging automatically includes adoption interviews and interactions.

Old SNS posts alone will not raise the conditions for publication. If you notice any errors or changes in the information, please let us know along with the official source of confirmation.
