Visiting a rabbit cafe in Tokyo

So the world pretty much knows about cat cafes already, but when I found out that there were also a couple of rabbit cafes in Japan, I knew I had to go visit one too.

The rabbit café I visited was called Ra.a.g.f which stands for Rabbit And Grow Fat. It is situated in Harajuku and is a bit of a mission to find, to be honest, if I didn’t have my husband and his pigeon instincts with me, I would probably still be wandering round Tokyo like Alice in a labyrinth looking for it!

The rabbit café is the same sort of set up as the cat café, you pay for the first 30 or 60 minutes you are there and then additional yen for time after that. Ra.a.g.f is 600Y for the first 30 minutes, which to be honest is all you really need. The café is tiny (and I mean tiny!) there are literally 3 little tables, where you sit on a cushion on the floor. A drink is included in the cover charge and for an extra 100Y you can purchase some nibbles for the rabbits (carrots or apple I believe).

While we were there, only 1 rabbit was out and about, the rest were shut away in their cages although we could pet them if we wanted to. I was told this was because the rabbits either fight or try to mate if there are too many out socialising together. I must admit I was a little disappointed by this but understand the café staff’s reasons. The rabbits apparently all take turns in being allowed to roam the café but I do hope that there is somewhere else they go (beyond the café) where they can stretch their little rabbit legs and hop around to their hearts content.

Anyway, as cute and quirky as it was, we only stayed for half an hour and then we left. I would recommend visiting if you’re a rabbit fan or just want lots of quirky experiences, but if you only get chance to visit one animal café then the cat café wins hands paws down.

Pin me for later!
