Cafe MoCHA: Cat Cafe in Harajuku, Tokyo.

Tokyo, the land of technology and neon lights meet tradition and culture. A City that would never seem to bore anyone, especially crazy cat people.

There are TONS of cat cafes in Japan, and there is always one in every single corner and I'm not even exaggerating! Opened in March of 2016, Cafe MoCHA is the best cat cafe that I have ever been to in this whole world (no lie, I've been to few in Japan, Hong Kong, London, Paris, Vienna to name a few). Located in one of Tokyo's most trendy districts, Harajuku (原宿), it is Tokyo’s most Kawaii district. It's the neighborhood that gave us Lolitas, Harajuku girls, decora, and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Harajuku has been the epicenter of Tokyo teen and vintage fashion for decades, and it's still nurturing unorthodox, garish styles even as big-name international retailers like H&M, Forever 21 and American Eagle Outfitters muscle in on the area. Find yourself immersed in all the trendy restaurants and a lot of fashion boutiques.  

Just look at all these kitties!

 In the hustling and bustling parts of Harajuku, just a few minutes away from the JR station, you go up to Café mocha and the store is like a lounge in the sky inhabited by cats. The décor is sleek and simple. Cute sofas with soft pillows perfect for you and our furry friends to cuddle up and chill. 

They provided me with gorgeous cat ears, you take off your shoes and slip into a clean pair of slippers which were disinfected by a high tech machine so you don’t have to worry about hygiene!Ffor an additional 350 yen, you can get unlimited drinks!! Which includes coffee, tea, soda, calpis (Japanese yogurt drink)and much much more. But I didn't really drink a lot since I was too mesmerized by all the kitties. Cat treats cost about 500 yen, they encourage you to play with them and feed the treats to them as a little reward. However, if you wanna feed the kitties you gotta act quick cause they are handed out in limited quantity.

There are two meal times for the cats, at 10:30 in the morning and at 7:30 at night. Watch them gobble up the yummies!

You get to meet Pikkoro the resident Somali cat, Kotetsu, a Singapura and Omochi the Scottish fold. What are you waiting for!
