So, this weekend was all about Kobe. And despite the rain, my friends and I managed to have a ball checking out the sights of Kobe. After stops at an awesome gyoza restaurant and a spectacular jazz/coffee bar, we went to one of the most unusual places I think I’ve ever been to: A Cat Cafe.
You know you’re in Japan when you come across a thing like a cat cafe. Just as it sounds, this is a place where people can hang out with cats, and enjoy a refreshing drink (in a cat free area, of course). I would imagine that this phenomenon developed from the general love for cute, furry creatures here and the lack of apartments that allow pets. This way, for a small fee, anyone can enjoy the best parts of having a pet without the full-time responsibility.
The cats were very cute and definitely amusing, and we had lots of fun playing with them and teasing them with a wide variety of cat toys. But I think we all departed with an air of disbelief; “Did we really just pay to hang out with cats?”
Anyhow, when in Rome…
Here are some pictures of our adventures at the cat cafe of Kobe. Enjoy!
