More and more restaurants are adopting pet-friendly policies, aiming to create a comfortable environment where guests can dine and play with their pets. But besides cats and dogs, owl cafés have become a recent trend in Japan, featuring owls as the stars to accompany guests while they enjoy their coffee.

The earliest to gain online fame were “Bird’s Café” in Tokyo and “Fukurou no Mise” (Owl Store) in Osaka. Their high level of interest, coupled with the incredibly cute and fluffy appearance of the owls, made these two shops very popular. Subsequently, many other owl-themed cafés opened, such as “Fukurou Chabara” (Owl Tea Room), Osaka’s “Fukurou Café Crew,” and “Fukurou no Mise” (Owl Family), among others… Each café has its own unique features and rules—some allow guests to play with the owls while sipping coffee, while others do not permit touching unless you undergo disinfection first.
