“Guesthouse Yadomaru” in Chikko, Minato-ku, Osaka is a small inn near Osakako Subway Station. Inside the Inn lives a black resident cat, Kuroo, who is featured on the inn’s official blog as a cat who is so friendly with people that he can be hugged.
Friendly resident cat Kuroo
The facility communication clearly states that Kuroo is a resident cat, and the accommodation reservation information also describes him as a very friendly cat. This is a B because I can concretely confirm that I can interact with others in the common areas. On the other hand, I can’t confirm the instructions to come to the guest room.
Interaction with cats is not mandatory as a service. Do not touch the animals while they are sleeping or eating, and follow the staff’s instructions when holding or photographing them. If you are traveling with someone who has allergies, please ask the inn in advance about the areas cats can enter and cleaning methods.
Guesthouse where travelers are close to each other
A guest house is a stay style where the focus is on shared spaces and conversations with the host, rather than a hotel. Yadomaru also stays in dormitories or private rooms and shares facilities. We inform you that we may be able to accommodate requests outside of the regular plan, such as private reservations and transfers, but this will depend on the schedule and the situation of other guests.
If you want to stay in a quiet private room or have a private bathroom, be sure to check the lock, sound insulation, shower, towels, etc. of the room you are booking. This inn is perfect for people who want to enjoy a shared space with cats, staff, and travelers.
