We don’t have animal cafes where I live so this was a nice experience. The dogs are all very small and cute, pomeranians, chihuahuas, etc. They get very excited when you walk in but calm down once you sit down. Some will even sleep on your lap. For the most part, they’re not highly affectionate, they’re just chilling on their beds. I was the one to approach them most of the time haha. 1600¥ for 1h and a free juice/coffee was a pretty ok deal.

I really enjoyed my time here with cute dogs. Dont expect them to come upto you that often though. They are very selective on who they want to sit with :-)

Fun and playful doggies roam around this small dog cafe. It's basically one room where you sit on the floor and let the dogs come play with you. Various toys are scattered around the floor for you to amuse the dogs with. You pay a fee according to how long you want to spend at the cafe. The basic fare which allows for 50 minutes also nets you a basic drink. If you really want to get the dogs' attention, you need to purchase a 2 hour slot. Included in this package is a little box of dog treats which the dogs go crazy for (you cannot purchase treats separately). While we were in the cafe, the dogs mainly hung around the people they knew who had the dog treats.

We stumbled upon this Dog Cafe because our daughter couldn’t get in to the Mame Shiba Cafe (there was a age limit of no kids less than 10 yrs old at the Shiba Cafe). This one was about a 5-6 min walk from the Glico Sign. I believe they served 1 drink included in the price (around ¥1700 for 1 hr play time, not 100% sure on price). They have around 14 dogs to play with, the owner is quite friendly and very nice!! The place is on the 4th floor of a building savings are out front and little sign on the elevator button. They play area is also very clean and you’ll have to take off your shoes and changed into one of their slippers which they’ll sanitize after.
