Abundant Cat Goods & a Warm Welcome from the Cat Manager

This is an experience where you can make your beckoning cat in an old house in Yanaka. The store has a great atmosphere with many cat goods gathered inside. I was welcomed by a real cat in front of the store, and the store owner told us that he was a very popular manager. I was told that a cat that raises its right hand invites money, and a cat that raises its left hand invites people (customers). I decided on the money luck. Drinks and small snacks are included in the price of the experience. Painting is done with a water-based pen. It looked difficult for me, who has no artistic sense at all, but if you don't have a specific design in mind, the teacher will show you samples, which is very helpful. I highly recommend this class because you will receive a one-of-a-kind work of art surrounded by cats and Japanese culture in a relaxing space! The staff is warm and welcoming, even to foreigners, so I hope many customers will visit. You can also use the café even if you don't want to write a beckoning cat.
