I recently got to spend some time in Tokyo again and wanted to visit animal and theme cafes that I haven’t been to yet.

Cat cafes are great, but I wanted to try something else this time, so together with Ali (Haikugirl) I went to a super adorable owl cafe in Harajuku.
Visited: December 3rd 2015

I stumbled upon this owl cafe by coincidence. It just recently opened and not many people seem to know about it yet.

I made a reservation the night before, but it wasn’t necessary. We had the owls all to ourselves.
Keep an eye open when leaving Harajuku Station. They’re promoting their newly opened cafe there. Sometimes they haven have a real owl with them, so you won’t miss them.
 

Fukuro no Sato: Owl Cafe in Harajuku The owl cafe is called “Fukuro no Sato Harajuku” (????????) and is only a 1-min walk away from Harajuku Station (Takeshita Exit). It’s in the 4th floor of a building. Really easy to find. They also have a small map on their website.
 

It’s actually a cafe and a bar. They’re open from 11:00 – 17:00 as a cafe and from 18:00 – 20:00 as a bar.

Currently they’re running a Christmas discount campaign, so you can get 30 minutes for 1000 yen and 60 minutes for 1500 yen. That’s really not expensive.

I was a bit biased about visiting an owl cafe. I’ve gotten used to cat cafes and I know there are cafes with bunnies, goats, reptiles etc.
