【フクロウカフェ・銀座店】銀座駅 徒歩約3分！癒しの空間をお届け by フクロウカフェもふもふ

期待をはるかに上回る楽しさでした～！！

Reviewed by: Cha, 2022/09/07

囲いなど一切ない空間に、かわいいフクロウちゃん達が20羽以上いました。
大きい子や小さい子、みんなとっても大人しくて、よく慣れています。
お店の人に教わって、頭やくちばしをナデナデすると、気持ちよさそう～な顔をしてくれました。
触り心地は、店名の通り、『もふもふ～』。
お店の人が、フクロウの生態やエピソードなどをお話ししてくださったり、途中で肩や腕にも乗せてくださり、1時間まったく飽きずに夢のような時間でした。
写真。動画も取り放題です。
あれだけフクロウちゃん達がいるのに、動物の匂い一切なし！
犬猫アレルギーの息子も、まったく平気でした。
ぜったいに、また行きたいです！

Hakata Owl Cafe Reservations in Fukuoka

Unique Experience in Hakata

Reviewed by: Joymay, 2020/01/03

An enjoyable visit to this very special cafe which keeps a good variety of owls. Staff were professional and spoke good English. What impressed me the most was how well the animals were treated and groomed - we were briefed on a handful of rules before meeting the animals, and we were also asked to respect the owls which were resting. The cafe was also very clean. Would definitely visit again if I return to Hakata :)

Reservations for an Owl Cafe' Experience in Ginza

Feeding adorable owls... nothing like it! Highly recommend

Reviewed by: Ryusuke , 2019/12/28

It’s my second time visiting, this time around I was able to feed them with chopsticks! - a wonderful hands-on experience. The staff were friendly and helpful as always, willingly helping me taking pics. Reservation ahead is not a requirement but recommended as it does get busy. The owls all have different owl-nalities, and was a joy observing how they interact with one another and with the guests. Highly recommended for all ages, especially families with young children

Reservations to Meet Adorable Bunnies at a Rabbit Cafe' in Tokyo

So Sweet

Reviewed by: Deys, 2019/08/30

I love bunnies and it was nice to interact with these sweet creatures. There were about 9 rabbits in cages. Two were let out to roam around and you could open the door to pet and feed others while they were in their cages. The space is small, but no problem getting to interact with the bunnies.

Reservations for an Owl Cafe' Experience in Ginza

Great activity for families with children!

Reviewed by: Ryusuke , 2019/07/15

We were lucky to be the only guests for our reservation time, and had a wonderful time meeting with all the owls, taking many pics, interacting with them.

Unless you’re a vet or a zookeeper, we haven’t seen anyone allowed to come in contact with owls in the US. So it was a rare and a memorable experience for all of us.

The manager was friendly and very knowledgeable. She’s taken selfies for us, with owls atop of our shoulders and heads! We were impressed how quiet they are when they fly across the room..

Time flew by fast, as we’ve all had a great time. At the end of the session, we got to vote for the favorite owl on the chart.

It’s a cute cozy place tucked in midst of busy Ginza district, a great activity for families with kids, especially on a day when it’s raining and get limited on outdoor activities. Highly recommend!

An Exciting New Experience!!!

Reviewed by: Anastasia, 2019/05/25

Coming into close contact with eleven owls is definitely a weird but interesting experience!!
The smaller ones especially are very cute with their intense stare. It doesn't happen often but lovely to see how they interact by cuddling and kissing each other. The owner is helpful in answering any questions about the owls as well. We end up taking many gorgeous photos!!

とても可愛いフクロウ達でした。

その価値あり！！
直接あげたり、腕に乗せて撫でたりって感じで、超可愛かったです。
フクロウそれぞれ性格が異なり、かまってちゃんの「あずきちゃん」や、とってもおとなしい「ぼぶさん」などなど。
是非皆さんも癒されに行ってください(^^)/

Amazing

I booked this activity for my first full day in Toyko. It was easy to find even though I wasn't used to navigating Tokyo yet and very close to the Harajuku Station. The experience was amazing. You could tell that the staff loves the owls and is very invested in their well being.

We are happy that you enjoyed the time with the owls.
Close to Harajuku Station you can see the Meiji Jingu no Mori from the shop.

Hakata Owl Cafe Reservations in Fukuoka

Fun&unique experience!

Reviewed by: Gina, 2019/03/10

I do really enjoyed the time visiting Owl Family. Actually the most reason I hesitate before make my reservation was that me and my mother can’t speak Japanese. But it wasn’t be matter thanks to friendly staff! You don’t have to worry about the language, they will provide you an information in not only Japanese but also English&drawings.
I made my reservation in the afternoon and I visit them about 10min early, but it wasn’t necessary. Because the program begins on time.
The owls are stated at the 1st floor, but we should go upstairs first. We can order one drinks each, leave our load, and listen the way how to commune with owls there. There is two security camera on 2nd floor, so you can lave your loads without worrying about stealing.
And then we have time to meet owls about 40min. We can put them on our hands, shoulders, and heads. We should be careful because they can poo on our head. It wasn’t happened in my case, but noone knows when that happens. We can touch and take a pictures with them but no movies. Me and my mother took about 100 pitures! It was lucky to know this place before I visit Fukuoka.
It located very nearby Canal city Hakata. So if you are planning to visit there, plase come and have a good time with cute and adorable owls:) You will never regret!

The trainers were very competent and knowledgeable about the owls, calling hem by name and answering our many questions about their behavior. Was very fun to be able to have them perch on our hands / shoulders / heads. They were all of different sizes and species. Just beware of falling poop!

Hakata Owl Cafe Reservations in Fukuoka

Wonderful experience

Reviewed by: DTinFUK, 2019/02/26

The arrangement is perfect. First of all, you order the drink which you will have after having fun with the owls. Then u sanitise your hands and the staff will brief you about the whole process and things to notice. For example, you can only pet the head of an owl & the owls have no control of the poop poop..There are quite a numbers of owls there. They are all adults. Some species are exceptionally smaller than the others. They are really lovely. The staff will let the owls stand on your forearms. It is a really close contact with the owls. The staff is nice and friendly. You would not be frightened by the owls.

Hakata Owl Cafe Reservations in Fukuoka

What a hoooot!

Reviewed by: Jonny boy , 2019/02/26

The experience was wonderful. We had so much fun and took plenty of photos. The workers there helped us and even spoke english well. Very helpful staff and gave us a ton of knowledge about owls. We found out which where from Japan. My girlfriend even had a favorite owl, satsuma. I guess you can take multiple tours because they rotate the owls too, so depending on the time you go you might have a different set. I highly recommend this tour for anyone, it really made our experience in Fukuoka so memorable. It was easy to find and we shopped at places close by after. We also enjoyed petting the owls they were very soft. The large owls were somewhat scary to start but after we spent time with the smaller ones it became easy to handle the larger ones. They even allowed us to have two owls at once while we took photos. I must have taken around 100 photos in the hour. It was very private and we had the whole place to ourselves. It defiantly is worth a visit because it will be the only opportunity to handle owls in my life. I have never heard of this type of place in America. The staff was so friendly we felt very safe the entire time. We even bought a couple souvenir and we used a coupon and got a free gift. We will always remember the time we went to the owl cafe, we will always have the great memory of petting owls. It was the highlight of our trip. We spend a few more days in Fukuoka and the owl cafe defiantly is one of the best times we had. The food places around there also allow for a great experience after the owls. We where able to get some last minute gifts after the owl cafe. We have been to cat cafes before but they paled in comparison to the owl cafe, cats were more difficult to handle than the owls. Owls feeding time was interesting as well. We also enjoyed the names of the owls and the verity of the owls. There were so many different types ranging in size, color, eyes, feathers, and area where they are from. Finding out about the types of owls was very cool!!

Hakata Owl Cafe Reservations in Fukuoka

One of the highlights of our trip!

Reviewed by: Jewel, 2019/02/14

Overall, the Hakata Owl Cafe experience was one of the highlights of our trip! I have never seen so many magnificent owls all in one place. The owls were all very adorable and gamely posed for photos! Those that were allowed by the staff hopped onto our arms for some up close and personal time. The staff were all friendly and accommodating, and tried their best to bridge the language barrier and did their best to speak English.

For improvement of the establishment: Have snack selections for your patrons as some might be looking for a light snack after the activity.

Tips for future travelers: research the location of the place well in advance, especially if the location of where you are checked in is a bit far off from the cafe. The cafe is very strict with the reservation schedule, as the owls’ rest periods are taken into consideration. Make sure to be outside the cafe at least 15 minutes before your scheduled slot.

On an end note, Harry Potter fans will surely enjoy this activity as one of the owls in their care is a Snowy Owl breed, similar to Hedwig. They also offer Gryffindor uniforms so that you can do cosplay with the owl. :)

Reservations for an Owl Cafe in Harajuku

So Cute and Fun!!!!!!!

Reviewed by: mrconte93, 2019/02/11

The cafe was a little hard to find (it was raining the day we went) but, once there it was amazing!!!!! The owls are so CUTE and very chill. (I think they are used to people by now). Chai was my fav only because he was the chillest and, during the petting demonstration/owl introduction, he looked the happiest to be getting pets. Would definitely do again.

  • Chai is the tan on in the middle

Thank you for visiting.
There are three owl cafes in Harajuku, and the closest thing to the station is "Owlvillage Harajuku".
The chai is the youngest in the shop and it is very sweet.
Please come and see us if you want to see everyone again.

Cute owls!

Reviewed by: Serine, 2019/01/28

Very cute owls! There were two new ones which we were advised not to touch because they weren't used to people, but the ones we patted were very soft!

The only thing I would like people to note is that it's not so much a 'cafe' as they only have bottled water available, but still a lot of fun!

Good owls, nice staff, shitty coffee

Reviewed by: Marebear, 2019/01/02

Don't come early at all. They will never let you in even 5 min early. There are no benches to wait. If you can't climb stairs, don't do this activity. The owls are on the first floor, the tutorial/gift shop is on the 2nd floor. This is completely in Japanese, although the staff attempted to speak English. They only bring out about 5 of the 15 owls. Otherwise, you can photograph, but not handle all the owls. They are incredibly tame, but they will all poop/pee on you at some point. The staff is great at taking photos for you. The gift shop is ok. Skip the coffee. It sucked. The owls we're beautiful and very cool to hold. Would recommend, but have Google translate on your phone.

Best time of my life as a Harry Potter fan

Reviewed by: Potterfan, 2018/12/31

I was first a bit surprised by the size of the cafe-I imagined it bigger. There was a lot of people in one time slot, but that was not a problem. Owls were in great conditions, and staffs were supervising every moves of people and owls. If you're a Harry Potter fan, I'm sure you'll have a great time. Don't forget to wear hogwarts uniform and Potter glasses! There's only gryffindor ones-if you want other houses, you should bring it by yourself. I got the best selfie of my life.
