Tokyo's Catmocha cat cafe is both luxe and inviting, boasting whimsical design details and interior fixtures that are reminiscent of a fairytale setting. While [cat cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal) are nothing new in Japan, this particular location is more lavish than most, featuring a sculptural tree that acts as one of its most impressive interior accents.

In addition to the large tree prop, this cafe boasts [branched, wooden shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neko-yama) throughout. Also shaped to resemble trees, these shelves are not only visually appealing and a way to display signage but are also ideal surfaces for cats to play and climb on.

Featuring different room themes -- from a vintage and velvet-adorned space to a bright and window-enveloped lounge -- this cat cafe makes for a [romantic Valentine's day getaway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-japan-valentines-day) or date spot for animal lovers.
