If you’re looking for an inn in Kanagawa Prefecture where you can stay in the same room as the cat, Maikyatto in Yugawara Town is a very unique option.

It’s a little different from a typical cat inn where the resident cats who live in the inn come to your room at will, and the inn offers a system for staying with cats from its attached cat cafe.

What kind of accommodation is Maikyatto?

Maikyatto is a pure Japanese-style inn located within walking distance from Manazuru Station. The annex has a cat cafe and pet hotel.

The current lodging information introduces the hotel as a “ryokan where you can stay with cats,” and that you can spend time with cats in some rooms. There are also separate floors for regular overnight stays without cats.

Spend time in the same guest room as the cat

A big feature of this inn is that not only can you see the cats, but with eligible plans you can spend time in the same guest room as the cats.

However, this is different from a pet-friendly hotel where you can bring your own cat. Also, this is different from the format in which the resident cat freely visits all guest rooms, so please check the plan you are booking and the procedures for use on the day in advance.

The cat’s physical condition and compatibility are the top priority. Please follow the instructions at your accommodation regarding holding, meals, snacks, bedtime rules, etc.

You can also use just the cat cafe

The business hours of the attached cat cafe are set separately from the accommodation conditions. The reservation method may be different depending on whether you are using the cat cafe without staying overnight or if you are staying with the cat.

If your purpose is to “stay with a cat,” be careful not to choose a regular overnight stay plan.

According to the current information on official LINE, cat cafes are open from 10am to 7pm, check-in at inns is at 3pm, and check-out is at 10am. As the time notation may differ from the reservation site, in this article we will give priority to the latest official information, and please confirm your reservation using your reservation confirmation.

Accommodation and Meals

It is basically a small inn where you can stay without meals. Since it is not a hot spring inn, its character is different from the inns where you would expect a large communal bath or Kaiseki cuisine at Yugawara Onsen. Plan your itinerary based on a combination of nearby restaurants and bathing facilities.

This accommodation is suitable for people

  • People who want to experience sharing a room with a cat under the applicable plan, rather than just a chance guest-room visit.
  • People who stay overnight without meals and can organize their own meals and baths.
  • A person who can prioritize the cat cafe rules and the cat’s health.

Things to check before staying

  • Eligible plans and guest rooms where you can stay with the cat
  • How to choose a cat to spend time with and how to spend time with them
  • May the cafe cat be left alone in the guest room?
  • Rules for cat eating, toilet, and bedtime
  • Dealing with companions who are allergic to cats

Access

About 8 minutes walk from JR Tokaido Line “Manazuru Station”.If you are driving, please check the latest parking information at the time of reservation as parking is limited.

Summary

Maikyatto is not an inn where you wait for a cat to come to your room by chance, but a special inn where you can choose a plan and spend time in the same room as the cat.

The structure is different from a typical resident cat inn, but it is one that fits the purpose of “spending a relaxing time with the cat in your room while traveling.”
