I went to Neco Republic in Nakano that is Hogoneko cafe.
*Hogoneko cafe means that they took in cats used to be stray cats and take care them.
This cat cafe is one of the group of Neco Republic in Ochanomizu.
They have several shops in Tokyo. But Nakano one's is my favorite Neco republic.
The room is not big but cats are really friendly.
You can be a new owner if you want as well.
Of course, you can just enjoy a cat cafe!
I recommend to go Hogoneko cafe because you can help their action even you just enjoy it.

Shop location
It is along the road next to Nakano Broadway.
You will take around 5 mins from Nakano station.
This narrow square is the entrance.
I didn't notice at first and I entered the next building.
Go up this stairs and you will find Neco Republic on the third floor.
It looks like a basic cat cafe.
Let's get into Neco Republic!
The clerk will explain fee and system.
For some reason this clerk felt cold. Is it because I was suspicious of having a large SLR camera for shooting? I have no idea.
The other clerk was nice to me.
Socks are required, but you can buy them if you don't have.
They looks cute.
You can grab some toys.
Inside looks
The room is not big.
There are many toilet on the floor. It is good for cats. But maybe some people don't like it.
This picture is the other side of the room.
There are no smell. And very clean.
By the way, it was a little bit dark to take pictures by phone.
I'm gonna compare that.
I took this picture by iPhone8ｓPlus.
This is what I took with a single lens reflex camera.
After all, this one is more beautiful.
But nobody care about it when they see pictures on Instagram or something. haha
You can grab one drink. It's include of your fee.
I usually have orange juice. I don't know why.
There are some comics.
