Cat Cafe-Meow Legend

The people were friendly, the rooms clean and spacious, the drinks were delicious, and the cats and dog were so sweet and gentle. Light jazz music played in the background, and it was overall a wonderfully relaxing time. Highly recommended to animal lovers in a beautiful and peaceful environment.

They say there is no oasis in the desert… well, they are wrong. On a hot summer day in Otaru, we found Cat cafe Meow Legend 貓@伝説. It was a relaxing, welcoming space with fun, friendly cats with a reasonable price tag. There’s more. Their vision is to bring hope to the community. The owner, Sa, has a heart for stray and abandoned cats, and she searched wide and far for these cats to be featured in her cafe. She hired artists who shared their vision to paint and decorate her cafe, and more importantly, to capture another dimension of liveliness of these cats. The owner also made magnets herself with cute images of her precious feline friends. I was really impressed by her investment into these kittens and the close relationship between them was unheard of in commercially-run cat cafes in big cities like Tokyo. I love their parent-child deal where you could spend a couple of hours with your kiddo doing what they love for a reasonable price with unlimited drinks. And, did I mention her four-legged friend, Kuro?

The cat cafe is so nice and unique, no wonder why it achieved nearly full marks. Love the relaxing atmosphere, energetic cats and full of gadgets for cats to play with. Cats are clean and healthly, showing the owner giving a plenty of love and time to take care of them. Kuro is so handsome and cute, what an iconic dog. Highly recommmend the cakes for sweets lovers.

Kind staff and well treated cats and shiba inu, good place to take a cofe break with added bonus of all you cat pet fluff balls. Before leaving you also get the opportunity to give a heart to your favourite resident. Of the ones I interacted with I'm sorry for Ai-chan didn't take a single good picture she's very approachable either way. Drinks 5, Service 5, Atmosphere 5

Excellent place for a break in summer Otaru! All cats are friendly and so cute !! All-you-can-drink for family pass saved us from the summer heat. The cat-head cake tasted very good too

Very cute place to visit if you’re a cat lover visiting the area. There’s two options for entry fee. 50 minutes for about 1500 yen or a day pass for about 3000 yen. 50 minutes gets you 1 free drink and while day pass gets you as may as you want. Lockers are included in the entry fee. There’s about 7 cats available but only about 4-5 awake at any time.

The cats are so cute. They are very friendly and like to play with us. The cake and drinks here are delicious too. Recommended.

A Purr-fect Escape! I’ve been to many cat cafés, but this one truly stands out. It is a must go after a nice walk from the historical Otaru old town. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed with a warm, cozy atmosphere — not just by the friendly staff, but also by the dozen or so adorable, well-cared-for cats lounging around like they own the place (which, let’s be honest, they probably do ). They are 9 cats and 1 dog in this house. The cats are clearly loved and happy, each with their own personality. Some are playful and curious, others nap in the sunbeams or snuggle in cozy baskets. There’s no pressure to interact — it’s their space, and you’re a lucky guest. That makes every moment of connection (a head boop, a paw tap, or a lap visit) feel truly special. The café side is just as impressive: free delicious drinks, thoughtful decor, and soft music that makes the whole experience feel like a peaceful retreat from the busy world outside. It’s spotlessly clean, well-ventilated, and the staff do a great job ensuring the cats are comfortable and the guests are respectful. Whether you’re a cat lover, a tourist needing a moment of calm, or just someone looking for a unique experience — this café is a little slice of heaven. I left smiling, recharged, and already planning my next visit.
