“Nyan STAY” in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture is a 100-year-old traditional house where you can spend time with rescue cats. The cats walk freely inside the inn, and if you leave the guest room door slightly open in accordance with the inn’s instructions, they may come and play.
An inn where cats freely come to the guest room
Official guest room information states that there are approximately 10 cats at the inn at all times, and that guests are asked to leave the door slightly open and wait.
Cats are not allowed to be brought into the guest room, and it is up to the cat to decide where to go. The inn describes guest-room visits, but this site does not guarantee that a cat will visit on your stay date. Respect the cats’ choices and health, and do not ask staff to call a cat into the room if none comes.
Experience life with a rescue cat
According to Inn Introduction, the operator has been conducting animal rescue activities since 2020. Nyan STAY is a homely environment different from a cat cafe, and was created as a place where you can experience how the resident cats live with people.
In some cases, prospective adopters may be able to use the facility for a trial stay with the cat of their choice.
Guest room and accommodation style
The guest rooms are 1 mixed-gender dormitory room and 2 private rooms. Basically, you stay overnight without meals included, the toilets and baths are shared, and tidying up is self-service.
This is a guesthouse-style accommodation that was renovated from an old private house, and does not provide services like a luxury accommodation. Suitable for people who value the experience of living in the same house as a cat.
Rules to follow when putting cats first
To prevent cats from escaping, opening windows is prohibited. Food, medicine, cosmetics, documents, electronic devices, etc. should not be left unattended to prevent accidental ingestion or mischief.
Keep the cats free to come and go; do not confine them or bring them into the room by force. Quiet hours run from 22:00 until 7:00 the following morning.
Things you should know before staying
- There are cats throughout the house. The official information both says guests with cat allergies cannot stay and recommends private rooms for mild allergies. Confirm eligibility with the inn before booking; do not assume a private room makes a stay safe.
- Not suitable for people who want to avoid cat hair and odor completely.
- Do not chase the cat, do not forcefully hold it, and do not feed it.
- The road to the parking lot is narrow. Official pages variously say only kei cars, or kei and compact cars. Confirm your vehicle’s eligibility, the road width, and a parking-space reservation with the inn in advance.
- Basically, you stay overnight without meals, and the focus is on shared facilities and self-service.
- It is also necessary to deal with incidents unique to living spaces, such as cat toilets and vomiting.
