A multilingual guide to the rules, prices, chains, independents, and 225 cat and dog cafes across 14 Japanese cities.

Why it surfaced

Hitorimofu tackles the practical details that can make animal cafes intimidating to visitors: sanitising your hands, not picking up cats, turning off flash, and checking whether a dog cafe contains one breed only. Its city-by-city listings, Google ratings, and coverage in English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese give the guide unusually concrete travel value.

Lunch Through the Bee Veil

August 11’s newborn domains include a bee veil with a lockable lunch flap, a book designed to unfold over ten years, a Colombian missing-person and aid board, and a brick studio made by a dad and his 10-year-old co-founder.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-11 Domain Arrivals issue.
