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 :)

Warm and friendly staff

Reviewed by: Min, 2019/08/03

The staff is very friendly! She is very informative and speaks good English which is really very helpful to us as we do not understand Japanese.

The owls were cute though it would be good if there are more owls to be held / played with.

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!

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.

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. :)

Cute Owl Experience!

Reviewed by: OwlEnjoyer, 2018/08/07

I loved this place! Upon entering, staff were very welcoming and friendly, and took us upstairs for a bit of housekeeping. While the staff’s English is not perfect, there was no trouble on either end making ourselves understood.

Then the owls! There are five owls out at a time for handling, the others are resting. You can hold any size of owl on your hand, arm, shoulder, or head (!).., stroke them, make friends. Staff are happy to help, explain about the owls, take photos, etc. There are also Harry Potter robes to wear for photos!

There are all varieties and sizes of owls! All are very cute. Some might get a little snappy and try to nibble your hand if you hold it too close, so make sure to stroke them only on the back! They are very soft and adorable.

There is a small chance the owls will poop on you, and there will be no warning, but we didn’t witness this.

Also, when you enter the cafe, knock and wait to be let in by the staff. I expected there to be a lobby, but the front door opens directly onto the main room with all the owls.

Overall, a fantastic and memorable experience! Would recommend!

  • Moko-chan and Yu-chan

  • Off duty owls

  • The snowy owl. No touching!

Owlfamily Cafe in Hakata

Reviewed by: GHO, 2018/04/30

Time goes very fast inside this cafe. After a short briefing with clear instructions, lovely owls are waiting downstairs to share the funny time with you.

Happy to know that the owls are working on shift so that they will not be too busy or too tired.

It was a great time with my kids

Reviewed by: JONGEUN SIM , 2018/04/04

I live in Deagu, South Korea.

Last year I was visited owl cafe in Osaka. My kids(8years old boy, 6years old girl) were so happy in Osaka. So I searched in owl cafe in Fukuoka.

Finally my kids were very satisfied in Owl family.
It was a super great time with my family!

I used to visit Japan 2~3 times per year. At next time, my family will go to Owl family and I highly recommand Owl family to my friends.

Staycation fun

Reviewed by: Rachel, 2018/03/27

I visited as a part of my "staycation" (I live in Kyushu). It was definitely worth it. It's a unique experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It helps to speak Japanese, but there are multilingual instructions for visitors who cannot. If you've got an hour to spare during your visit to Fukuoka and fancy spending it with some ridiculously cute creatures then I'd stop by.

First you get your drink and he information how to handle with the owls. After that you Start Feeding (if booked) and Peting the owls. Not all owls are free for Feeding ans Peting. The Stuff choose the owls before. So the owls can Relax After Peting before. The stuff is very friendly and helpul to get many beautiful photos. And they are very gentile to the kids. Really a Great experience. Would do again!

This was my first time going to an owl cafe, but my friend invited me. The owls were really cute and I felt so relaxed! I was a bit scared at first because they are birds of prey, but all the instructions and everything were really thorough so it was a relaxing and fun time!

It was really crowded that day, with a lot of people waiting. But because I had a reservation, I could walk right in.
I'd say get there a bit early, to make sure you can listen to the explanation at the start.
