A small, cat-themed cafe with a small menu which includes tofu rice, mushroom udon, etc. Removed August 2025 - not vegetarian or vegan friendly. Better choices nearby.

not vegan! - Edit
I talked to the owners. They had no understanding if veganism. They use fish stock in all their dishes except the mapo tofu.

Wholesome food served with warmth - Edit
This lovely little compassionate eatery just a few steps from the southern end of the Philosopher’s Path serves tasty vegan noodle soups (including very satisfying udon with mushrooms) and sides, as well as good matcha and excellent warabi mochi. There are photos on the wall of all of the cats who wander the Philosopher’s Path, with their names, and indeed we met a couple these famous felines on our walk.

Enjoy!

A wonderful experience - Edit
I stumbled upon this cafe just by walking past and I’m so happy I did! It’s fully vegan, run by a lovely elderly couple who have a very limited but delicious menu of authentic Japanese food. I had their mushroom udon which was hearty and full of flavour. The place is wonderfully cat-themed, with photos of the local strays everywhere (and postcards of these on sale - plus you can buy lots of cat / animal themed items in their tiny shop next door). This restaurant is charmingly full of homely things too, so it almost feels like you’re dining in their home. I’d recommend this to any vegan seeking a rest-stop along the ‘Philisopher’s Path’ route.

Cons: Service may be a little slow, but worth it
