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!!

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!

Amazing!

Reviewed by: Guillermo, 2018/03/24

Very enjoyable experience! The owners are very knowledgeable and friendly. I went during the first time slot on a Thursday and was the only one so it made it even more special. If you are visiting arrive early as it can be hard to find. Hinata is the sweetest bird!!

So much fun

Reviewed by: Mohamed Alkowari, 2017/12/23

Loved the experience so much as we had the whole place for ourselves. We had one hour to spend and play with the owls which was more than enough. The owner was very friendly and he left us alone with the owls to take all the pictures we wanted.

Owl Cafe

Reviewed by: Aileen Lewis, 2017/12/06

This was a fabulous experience for getting up close with owls however I am concerned that these owls do not get fresh air or a chance to fly often. It would be informative to be reassured they are treated properly

Mohumohu Owl Cafe

Reviewed by: OMGBBQNOM, 2017/09/11

So much fun in just an hour! You get to feed like 12 different owls with their own little personalities pet them and take pictures with them, and the guy handling them all is so nice and funny! Definitely one of our favorite moments from our trip!

Friendly, Fun, Fantastic Experience!

Amazing place. Animals are well taken care of. The owner even knew a little bit of English. He deeply loves his owls and also has the appropriate licenses to handle these birds. Extremely pleased :)

Real Owls!!!

Reviewed by: howard, 2017/07/01

We had so much fun being around the owls! You can actually pet (gently) the owls on the back of the head and have them perched on your arm, shoulder or on top of your head! Just beware of the possible poop! The room is small and cozy and you have to climb 5 flights of narrow stairs but it's worth it to be around these amazing animals. The variety of different owls is also impressive as they have from very small to large owls of different types. The only thing is it's not a cafe, don't expect food or hot drink like coffee. You do get a drink, but it's just a cold small bottle of green tea or lemonade. Overall my family loved it!

What a neat experience!

Reviewed by: Dominique, 2017/01/19

As others have said, it is a little challenging to find the location. Even with GPS we walked right past the building initially. I posted a photo of the sign in the hopes that it helps other people find the building more easily.

That said, it's completely worth it. The owls were beautiful and friendly, and the staff was so helpful and nice. Talk about a unique opportunity!

So cute!

Reviewed by: Jasmine, 2016/09/16

My friends and I dropped by after work to spend some time fluffing up some owls. It is right by the South East exit of Shinjuku Station, but the location itself is hard to find. There are no signs outside and you kind of have to look inside the building to find the signage leading up to the fifth floor (no elevator).
We happened to book the time where they were doing their feeding time. You can feed them for an additional 200 yen, but other customers were doing it so we passed. After they were fed, we were allowed to hold them and have them perch up on our shoulder! They were very calm (well, sorta) and pretty chill with humans.
Like other owl cafes I've been to, it's not a cafe where you sit down and have a cup of coffee. You get a bottled drink and just enjoy your time with owls! It was a fun experience and an hour was just enough time to bond with the cute birds!

  • Me. Every day.

  • The owl on the bottom knows its priorities.

Up close with owls

Reviewed by: Kiki, 2016/09/16

The shop was right by Shinjuku station, convenient. The building is a little hard to find, make sure you look into the stairwell for the sign. The owls were very cute and well-behaved, and the staff obviously cared about them and knew all their characters well. Very cute, very fluffy!
