However, H did a further check just before we made our way there and realized that P was underage for the cafe: the Shinjuku outlet is for Junior High School Students and older. Fortunately, the cafe chain has several outlets, including another semi-nearby in Harajuku that is suitable for ages 6 and up. We pivoted our movement plans there, and got to the cafe at 11AM after a quick detour for breakfast first.<\/p>\n<p>The daughter has gone to cat cafes in Singapore, while the rest of us have not: so at least one of us had some basis on what to expect! From a newbie like me&#8217;s perspective though, the cats were all very docile, willing to be touched and very well groomed with silky smooth fur.
