Harajuku (Tokyo) Otter Cafe
Published 2023-10-27
The main attraction are river otters - namely, Asian small-clawed otters. There is some controversy about animal cafes as well as the keeping of Asian small-clawed otters as pets.
At least some of these otters were born at this facility and seem very used to visitors. In fact, visitors must remove all items from their pockets before getting their one-on-one time - otters aren’t shy about raiding your pockets, apparently.
P.S. The two “cafes” we visited had drink dispensers… not actual drink service.
