What kind of place is it?
“Hinata Bokko,” Japan’s No. 1 cat cafe where you can be surrounded by cats
Did you know Nishinomiya has the cat cafe with the most cats in Japan?
Located just 3 minutes on foot from JR Koshienguchi Station, “Cat Total Support Hinata Bokko” is, amazingly, a specialty shop for cats! With a cat cafe, cat salon (a grooming salon just for cats), cat hotel, and cattery (show breeder), it’s truly a paradise for cat lovers.
Inside, there are as many as 60 friendly cats from 15 breeds! Apparently, that makes it No. 1 in Japan as a cat cafe.
There’s even a grooming salon just for cats!
“Hinata Bokko” also has a rare cat-only grooming salon that works without anesthesia, something you don’t often see even nationwide. With show grooming by professional groomers, you’re sure to be impressed when you see how beautifully the cats are finished! They also offer advice on cat care and training, making this a place where true cat professionals gather.
Want to try giving your cat a shampoo? If bathing your cat at home is difficult, leave it to “Hinata Bokko”!
Close to the station, but with a cozy hideaway feel
The “Hinata Bokko” building was actually designed by the owner! The owner, a former carpenter, put his skills to work to create a comfortable space for both cats and people. It’s also close to JR Koshienguchi Station, so access is excellent.
They’re closed on Tuesdays, and you can check their official website for any other closing days. If you love cats, this is definitely a place you’ll want to visit at least once!
They also help rescue cats!
The owner once rescued a stray cat that had been abandoned after giving birth in a park, and that experience led them to become a breeder. At “Hinata Bokko,” where they continue breeding with a focus on Russian Blues, you can fully enjoy the charm of cats!
They also look for adoptive families for cats rescued from breeders.
They also have a cat hotel!
You can feel at ease during sudden trips or business travel! At “Hinata Bokko’s” cat hotel, both daytime care and overnight stays are available. The environment is set up so cats can spend their time comfortably, so you can leave them there with peace of mind.

A traveling cat cafe is something only “Hinata Bokko” can do. Being able to meet cats anywhere sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?
Shachomi went to check out their traveling cat cafe at “Oroichi Marche” near JR Nishinomiya.
There are so many cats that even if one whimsical kitty wanders off somewhere, another one comes right over, so you can enjoy an endless loop of comfort and cuteness〜（Note: Shachomi is a man）
