Amazing experience in this cafe, great place to relax in a beautiful scenery, with good music and a cutes cats I liked every pieces of it, from the tableware to the food itself. The infusions are also really good. This place is a mist go after visiting the temple and before the cat alley. Love from France

Beautiful location nestled in the mountains near senkoji park. Felt like something out of a ghibli movie. Cute cats relaxing inside and the anchovy pizza was delicious. Highly recommend!

I came mainly for the cat! My wish became true! The atmosphere is amazing, I can enjoy sketching near the window.

Loved the chill vibes in this cafe. Not allowed to take photos of the interior but you’ll enjoy just being in the owl-themed cafe in the middle of the greenery while sipping some good coffee or tea with light jazz music in the background. Almost like a fantasy treehouse. Lovely service as well. If you’re lucky, there might be a cat resting at your table :)

Lovely and peaceful place, green all around. Onomichi and the area around is famous for its large variety of citrus fruit. Also here we ordered orange juice, which was tasty and refreshing.

This is the most beautiful cafe i've ever visited. The service was good. The strawberry milk was very fresh and the chocolate cake had the perfect amount of sugar
