Owl Cafe Tokyo

The owls were really interesting and majority were very friendly. Happy to sit on your shoulder or arm. Got a printed photo at the end as a gift. Very small white room with Mozart playing. Not really a cafe, no food or drinks. Thought we would get an hour with the owls, but was more like 40mins including taking off jackets and the safety intro. Tip to be vocal and ask to swap owls if you want to hold more than 1.

It is the most amazing and wonderful experience of animal cafe that I visited. There is no smells. The owls are clean and obedient. The staff are very kind, nice and helpful. They made the guidance book about all owls that are very clearly. All of the guest were having a great time with the owls. We got a memorial and beautiful photo in there. I'm pretty sure my family love this cafe and I must share this experience to my friends.

Amazing experience. The staff are very friendly and easily understood. Perfect English as well. The owls are very well looked after and all seem comfortable. I got to choose the owl I wanted to hold. And he was gorgeous. Looked like the owl out of Harry Potter. Make sure to book in advance, I managed luckily to be able to find a spot free on the last session of the day when I looked at midday on the day. But after that it was booked out for the week.

I had an amazing experience! Staffs were very nice and informative. I had a good time with the owls and you are allowed to select any and multiple owls you want to spend time with. They took pictures for you as well and they also printed it out, laminated it like a post card. It’s good to keep quiet inside so you don’t startle the owls. The owls are so cute! I love when they stayed on my shoulder while sleeping. I had fun burying my face in bliss in between their feathers. They’re feathers are so soft! I would stay here all day if I could.

So much fun! Didn’t realize we needed reservations ahead of time, but luckily we were in Japan long enough to book a time slot a few days later, though we did have to book a private reservation. And I’m so glad we did! We got to meet and interact with many of the owls and they were all adorable. The hosts were great and got some fun photos of us too! Thank you so much for a fun and unique experience!

An amazing experience! As instructed, we arrived about 15 minutes before our reservation time and were provided information on how to be respectful of the owls. There were also cute photos, bios, and short stories about each owl. It’s clear the owl concierges care deeply about the owls—from the quiet, hushed atmosphere with classical music playing in the background, to the slow, gentle movements—everything is designed so the owls aren’t startled or stressed. Some owls had pink “break time” signs if they were on break or sleeping, so guests knew not to touch those. All the owls seemed quite content and relaxed on their open perches. The experience included a professional photo taken of us holding owls, and we were provided with the keepsake photo at the end. I held “Mr. President” (a barred eagle owl), who was so calm, serene, and stately, while my son held the more active “Whitebait” (a barn owl). We thoroughly enjoyed having some quiet time sitting with our individual owls, took lots of photos, and also appreciated learning more about them. Thank you, Owl Cafe Tokyo!

The Owl Cafe is about owls (not food). It is a super cool and very tranquil experience. They have over 30 owls (approximately, didn't count, but there are a lot). They range in size/weight from 150g (5 oz) up to 1.6kg (3.5 lbs). Owls aren't cats, so it's not like you play with them. But being so close to a majestic bird and having it accept you is very moving.

We were so lucky to get a time slot online— the shop owners were very professional in explaining how to interact with the owls in a respectful manners and there was a calm and relaxing atmosphere in the shop. Although there is the word ‘cafe’ in the name of the shop, no food or drink is served, just a pure rendezvous with owls. Once inside the shop, guests only want to spend every precious second with the owls. Truly the best experience!
