Tokyo Cat Lover's Heaven Tour

TOUR OVERVIEW:

Discover a feline wonderland in the heart of Tokyo! This tour combines nostalgic streets, cuddling with rescued cats, sipping on cat soy latte art, and a touch of Japanese tradition — all through the lens of a cat lover. This is the ultimate Tokyo experience for anyone who believes life is better with cats.

Itinerary

  • Yanaka Ginza – a charming retro shopping street lined with around 60 family-run stores. Look out for hidden cat statues, browse cat-themed souvenirs, and soak in the nostalgic atmosphere.

  • Rescue Cat Café – Meet adorable rescue cats in an ethical café where adoption is possible (but not required). A heartwarming way to spend time with cats while supporting a good cause.

  • Optional Cat Art Gallery – A cozy gallery showcasing cat-inspired art (open only on select days).

  • Quick Lunch Break (optional) – We'll stop to grab a vegan-friendly light snack if needed.

  • Cat Latte Art Café – Sip on a soy latte featuring 2D or 3D cat latte art — one of the few places in Tokyo where you can find creative lattes.

  • Lucky Cat Temple (Gotokuji) – Visit the famous temple known for its sea of maneki-neko (lucky cat) statues, set in a peaceful neighborhood away from the crowds.
