Lucky me.  As a matter of fact, the bar district separates me from the biggest shopping area in Nagoya as well (Sakae).  In general, I avoid walking through Nishiki because during the day it is ugly and dirty.  At night, it isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t any cleaner, but at least the lights mask the ugliness.  I get tired of being welcomed to any number of bars with soliciting men and women.  Most often I walk to a major street that is lined with offices and shops to get to Sakae.  It is a little out of the way but more pleasant.  Those times that I do walk through Nishiki, I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help notice the signage with pictures of the hostesses in various \u00e2\u20ac\u0153sensual\u00e2\u20ac\u009d poses.<\/p>\n<p>As I come out of my subway station, I see a little different signage that reminds me very much of those hostess bar advertisements.

It is a caf\u00c3\u00a9 where the draw or the gimmick is a bunch of cats to keep you company.<\/p>\n<p>I think the board shows the most popular cats in their most seductive poses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.triplefstudio.com\/yokoso\/images\/cat_board.jpg\" alt=\"nekocafe\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is the most seductive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.triplefstudio.com\/yokoso\/images\/cat_pose1.jpg\" alt=\"meee yow!\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nekomaho.com\/shop-nagoya\/cat_staff\/index.html\">click on this link<\/a> to check out the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153cat staff.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>This gives you a little more detail about the concept.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.triplefstudio.com\/yokoso\/images\/cat_detail.jpg\" alt=\"What is the course?\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a picture of koreo-kun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.triplefstudio.com\/yokoso\/images\/cat_pose2.jpg\" alt=\"koreo-kun\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know if they do shows, if they have a pole, or if they will pour you drinks while purring seductively.
