Nyan Nyan Ji Yufu Betsuin Opening Schedule
Scheduled Press Preview Date: Monday, August 10, 2026
Scheduled Pre-Opening Date: Tuesday, August 11, 2026
Scheduled Opening Date: Wednesday, August 12, 2026
*The above information is scheduled as of April 2026, and the opening date may change due to social conditions or other unavoidable circumstances.
In February 2025, Terakoya concluded a comprehensive agreement regarding the exclusive licensing business for 'Nyan Nyan Ji' in Japan and worldwide, as well as operations for events and stores. The launch of this website marks a new step toward its full-scale expansion.
Through the newly launched official website, we will deliver the charm of the worldview and activities that 'Nyan Nyan Ji' has cherished to more people in an easy-to-understand manner. We plan to sequentially release the latest information, event details, and expansion plans going forward.
Simultaneously, we are also announcing that the new location is scheduled to open on August 12, 2026.
Until now, 'Nyan Nyan Ji' has captivated many visitors with its cat-themed art, exhibitions, and unique worldview set in a traditional folk house space surrounded by the nature of Yase, Kyoto. With this new expansion, we will bring its charm to even more customers.
'Nyan Nyan Ji' is not just a simple museum or retail store; it is a new cultural hub that transversally combines 'IP x Art x Museum Shop x Tourist Destination'. By not limiting the appeal of the works and space to merely 'a place for viewing', but connecting the experiences and emotions born there into 'value that can be taken home', we are shaping a next-generation IP business in tourist areas.
By combining Terakoya's store operation capabilities, product planning skills, and space design expertise cultivated in tourist destinations over the years, along with our knowledge of the licensing business, 'Nyan Nyan Ji' will evolve from a place where IP is consumed into a place where visitors can deeply experience the IP's worldview and take home the lingering sentiment.
This is a unique initiative by Terakoya, integrating realistic customer attraction channels rooted in tourist destinations, the sensory value of art, and the purchasing experience of a museum shop.
Terakoya will continue to accumulate knowledge and know-how in the licensing business through copyright management of the artwork exhibited at 'Nyan Nyan Ji', special exhibitions, and the 'Betsuin' (branch) business (store operations other than the Nyan Nyan Ji main temple). We are committed to creating new value in tourist destinations and further disseminating and expanding art.
About 'Nyan Nyan Ji'
A highly popular facility domestically and internationally featuring cat-themed works created by cat artist 'Miyano Kaya'. It regularly hosts special exhibitions and events, receiving immense support not only from cat lovers but also from a wide audience with a strong appreciation for art. Inside an atmospheric traditional folk house surrounded by the nature of Yase, cat-related art and goods are lined up in every corner. With sliding doors painted with cats and the enshrined 'Dainichi Nyorai' (Great Sun Cat Buddha) inviting joy, it is a 'Good Luck Museum' where visitors feel healed and grateful.
*Nyan Nyan Ji is NOT a facility where live cats are present or where you can interact with them. It is a facility for enjoying cat art, cat goods, the cat deity, ceiling paintings, sliding doors, etc.
