The cafe comprises 2 floors: the first floor is designed as a playground for the cats, and the second floor is a dining area with a Wabi-sabi vibe, providing comfortable wooden tables and chairs. The highlight of the cafe would be the Sakura Tree, where you will find cats cosied up in tiny wooden “houses” and glass bowls.

Deriving a similar look from the wall of wooden clocks in Pinocchio, there are also wooden fixtures on the walls of the dining area. So, don’t be surprised if you see a cat staring down your food as you eat.
