P→★ of Japanese pop dance and vocal group TEMPURA KIDZ loves animals. This is the 3rd entry to his featured series in which he visits animal cafés around the city.
Ra.a.g.f in Harajuku was his destination this time around where he got to play with bunnies!
The café is just a 5-minute walk from Meiji Jingumae Station via Tokyo Metro lines, 8-minutes from Harajuku Station via the JR line, and within walking distance from all the lines at Shinjuku station, making it a perfect pit stop when sightseeing in Harajuku!
About 15 rabbits live in one room at the large apartment. You pick one that you think wants to play at let them roam around the room. The rule is that you let them out one at a time. They’re a territorial animal, so if you let two out they will pick quarrels, and if they’re male and female they will end up mating.
Pick a bunny from the cage that wants to play. It costs ¥800 for 30 minutes and ¥1,100 for 60 minutes – both options come with one drink. If you want to stay longer, it’s ¥550 per 30 minutes.
The first bunny P→★ picked was the floppy-eared Roko-kun, a male Holland Lop.
The rabbits seek out feed so if you use the food provided they will move closer to you. It’s ¥150 for a bunny snack. They have bad eyesight so it’s best to hold it close to their face. They also know their own names, so try calling out to a bunch of them.
Rabbits are predatory so they’re not good with being hugged. It’s strictly forbidden to hold the rabbits in the café, so guide them to your lap with the snack.
Roko-kun kindly came and sat on P→★’s lap! Rabbits hate being touched under the chin and on the belly, so when petting them make sure to do it gently from their heads down their backs.
They seem to be getting along nicely! “He’s cute, I want to keep him myself! So fluffy!” said P→★.
The next rabbit that P→★ met was the most handsome of the herd – Purittsu-kun, a male Netherland Dwarf. He’s the most popular in the café because he looks just like Peter Rabbit.
Purittsu-kun likes to run around people. It was like he was intending to play with P→★. He was in good health today.
His special skill is handshakes. Try shaking his hands too by timing it when he puts his forefeet up when giving him his snack.
The final bunny of the day is Rakuda-chan, a female mini Rex rabbit. She seems to be the most popular amongst foreign customers. She’s chubby around the chin and butt so she looks really fluffy.
She’s good with people so she jumped straight onto P→★’s lap!
Rakuda-chan also loves getting a massage from the customers! If you pet her from her forehead down to her butt she’ll lie sprawled across the floor. She’s the only rabbit in the café that does this, so she’s got a lot of repeat customers!
P→★ was very satisfied having gotten to play with so many bunnies!
“When I was in elementary school I touched a lot of rabbits at Toby Zoo, so I’m super happy I got to pet a lot today! I was also surprised by how different it feels to touch a rabbit with long fur and one with short fur! Rakuda-chan is my favourite. She made me feel a lot better♡ “
There’s a lot of other rabbit breeds at Ra.a.g.f too. The kind staff there will show you how to play with them all. “The lady there was really interesting, she attended to the rabbits like she was a nursery school teacher! Be sure to try going there yourself!” said P→★.
You can also buy the rabbits on sale there and they also have a rabbit hotel. There’s even rabbit merchandise you can buy, so if you’re a lover of bunnies then you absolutely have to visit!

I love animals! This is P→★ from TEMPURA KIDZ and welcome to the first entry of my brand new series. I’ll be updating occasionally. What’s a better way to start a series than to make friends with some otters and hedgehogs in Harajuku? Today, I went to HARRY Harajuku Terrace café to do just that!
It’s not just what’s inside the café, but its location is also worthy of note – it’s just an 8-minute walk from JR Harajuku station and a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Meiji-Jingu station, so it’s easy to drop by after a busy day of being a tourist. The wow-factor of this café is the three very sociable otters. This highly successful café draws in customers that come day after day, seeking the ultimate soothing feeling of bonding with their new friends. All their faces look the same, but you can tell them apart by looking at their tails. The otter called Miku has a thin tail, whereas San has a thick one and Kirara has a flat one. Particularly Kirara is brimming with curiosity and is the one with whom you are mostly likely to interact, if you should pop by! Full of excitement, the otters reached through the small hole in the tank to ask for food and toys. It was overwhelmingly cute. When they want a treat, they call out with their peculiar squeal. You can purchase snacks for them within the café. If you give them food, your friendship will grow increasingly stronger. Otter snack prices: First-time customers: ￥330 (price including tax) Standard price: ￥540 (price including tax) As the café name “HARRY” implies, the café has hedgehogs (harinezumi). The hedgehogs heal the tired hearts of all the café visitors. All the hedgehogs are friendly and rarely ever raise their quills at anyone, so you can touch them safely. Even I can handle a hedgehog! Even though hedgehogs are rather timid, they can still open their hearts to you! I can’t believe that we even touched noses to communicate! It’s amazing! The café was once a pet shop that sold rabbits and other small animals. This is it’s first time running business as a café, and that’s why you can not only interact with the animals here, but also buy one to keep. The staff also provide important information on how to properly care for the animals and diseases to which they are prone. If you are interested, then please feel free to ask them any kind of question. There are many other animals in the shop. This is a large French Lop rabbit. 3 months after birth, their bodyweight can even reach up to 7kg. Their droopy ears were so cute and their fur was so fluffy! I was filled with happiness. ...and there were even chinchillas. They have fluffy tails and look so cute! I approached them with some grass for them to snack on, and as soon as they saw me, they ran at me full of energy – we even got a photo together! As all the animals at this café are used to people, it’s easy to take pictures with them to upload on SNS websites! The café has such a large variety of food for small animals that was quickly noticed by customers who were interested in buying a pet. You can ask the staff what type of food is appropriate for which animal. I spent a lot of time surrounded by my favourite animals. I was particularly captured by the otters’ cute behaviour! HARRY Harajuku Terrace gives you the opportunity to freely interact with small animals – something that you can’t really do at a zoo or anywhere else. If you’re in Harajuku, how about stopping by? You may have to wait 30 minutes to enter the café if the store is closed. The café is very popular so I recommend that you reserve in advance! ■ Information HARRY Harajuku Terrace Address：Jingu-mae 426 Building floor 3, Jingu-mae, Shibuya, Tokyo Opening hours：11:00-19:00 (Last entries: 18:30) Regular closing days: None Access：8-min walk from JR Harajuku station, 5-min walk from Meiji-jingu station Tokyo metro line URL：http://www.animalcafe.tokyo Model：P→★（TEMPURA KIDZ）@0830_pika Writer：Ryoichi Komaba Photographer：Haruka Yamamoto Translator： Samantha Fernandes -
P→★ from TEMPURA KIDZ loves animals. This is his featured series in which he visits animal cafés in the city. In this second entry, he made a trip to Owl’s Garden in Harajuku which houses not only owls, but hawks too!
The café can be found behind Tokyu Plaza, a very favourable location since you can stop by after shopping in Harajuku. It’s a 6-minute walk from Harajuku Station or a 2-minute walk from Meiji-Jingumae Station. Today, P→★ is wearing an outfit inspired by Harry Potter! The café interior is styled on an English garden. There are 12 owls and hawks that live there. It’s full of natural light and greenery, making it a nice and comfortable place to relax. There are several price plans. The Standard Plan is ¥1,500 which gets you 60 minutes inside. During that time, you’re free to touch the birds, take photos of them and sit them on your arm as much as you like. P→★ met with the owls first. You can gently touch the top of their head down to their back as well as their chest. This owl is a Chaco Owl. If you want to hold the birds just ask the staff. You’ll be given a glove to wear for the bird to sit on. P→★ is now holding an American kestrel. This is the only falcon in the café. If you’re careful not to move your hand it will stay relaxed on your hand. This is a barn owl. Apparently lots of customers are captivated by its striking face. “This one’s so fluffy!” commented P→★. P→★ was particularly interested in this Little Owl (that’s the actual name of the species!) Its tiny size is enough to tug your heartstrings♡ Owls save energy and don’t move around much, so they’re perfect for snapping photos of. That goes for selfies too. Next is to try out being a falconer. There’s a number of cafés where you can come into contact with hawks but not that many where you can actually have one fly over to you, so some customers can spend several hours here. You begin with your back against the wall and bring your hand up to the same height as your shoulders at the count of 3. The hawk responded to the signal several meters way and flew right onto P→★’s hand. It costs ¥500 for one turn which consists of two flights. “It’s like I’ve become a wizard!” The bird that flew to P→★ is the Harris’s hawk. They are known for their intelligence. Hawks are often perceived as scary but they’re actually very friendly to humans. You can enjoy a drink at this café while playing with the owls and hawks. If you make a reservation you get a drink on the house, otherwise it’s ¥100. It’s better to make a reservation if you’re planning to go there. The earrings they sell there are popular. They’re made from feathers that have fallen from the owls at the café. Be sure to find the feather of the bird you like there the most. They also sell a range of other merchandise including a photo collection of the owls. P→★ was very satisfied with his experience. It was his first time coming into contact with them, and his first time having a hawk fly to him. “After watching Harry Potter, I wanted to own my own owl. It was a lot of fun interacting with them today. My image of hawks has changed too! If I’m rich in the future I want to have my own pet owl. Until then, I’ll be sure to come back here!” P→★ sure enjoyed Owl’s Garden. The café is arranged in a way that makes it easy to take photos. The natural lighting and greenery make it a great choice for Instagram. Be sure to make a reservation if you’re interested. Check out the time P→★ went to Harajuku Terrace Café in his first Animal Diary Café entry here. ■Information Owl’s Garden Address: Ingresso 2F, 4-31-5 Jingumae, Shibuya, Tokyo Opening Hours: 10:00am-7:00pm (Until 6:00pm on Tuesdays, Wednesday & Thursdays except on National Holidays) No Fixed Holidays.

Our cute model Yutaro finally found some time in his busy schedule to go on a date with me! Today we’re heading to a spot where you can cure your fatigue after a long day at work. Our destination for today is a cat café! Today Yutaro took me out to Café MoCHA in Shibuya. This cat café is filled with many sofa seats, from which you can gaze at the scenery of Shibuya at nighttime. This was my first time at this cat café, but Yutaro’s second time. Yutaro quickly proceeded as if he was very familiar with it. We ended up on the second floor of Cat Café MoCHA Shibuya. First, we spent time on the upper floor to meet the cats.
Cats, cats and more cats in so many different places - they were here, there and everywhere! Some stayed sprawled out on the swinging seats whilst some came to cosy up with the humans. This was a great opportunity to get to know them. All of a sudden… …When did Yutaro get those cat ears?! Did he do this to get into the cat café mood? With a bushy cat toy in one hand, he got closer to the cats. Notice Yutaro is wearing a sweater with a cat character on it in this photo! I wonder if he decided to wear this because of the cat café… anyhow, it’s so cute! “Caaaaaaats!” “I’ve got them all!” I wonder if it’s Yutaro’s cat ears that attracted all the cats to gather around him? Yutaro waved the bushy cat toy about with one hand, triggering the playful cats. The sight of it healed my tired heart. ♡ Afterwards, we chilled with some cats on a sofa, purring. The sofa was a great spot to look over the beautiful nighttime scenery of Shibuya. It was very…romantic... After our break, we went straight back to play mode! It was time to play with the cats! The cats seemed to gradually get tired after all that playing and then it was back to relaxation mode. Why does this cat choose to sit right behind Yutaro?! And here’s one sitting just like Yutaro! Little by little, Yutaro and the cats became better friends. >>next page
Since all the cats on the top floor were tired out from all that playing, we headed to the bottom floor. Shibuya’s Cat Café MoCHA has “Oyatsu Time” which runs from 11:00 to 18:00. During “Oyatsu time”, visitors can give snacks to the cats. We chose ice candy!The ice candy smelt like fish. It cost ￥500 (+tax). The cats gradually drew near, sniffing out the delicious smell… At first they approached slowly, but then they became more daring! One eventually jumped onto Yutaro’s lap and then licked the candy! "Here kitty, kitty〜" Isn’t this just the cutest photo? Both cat and human in perfect harmony! A photo of Yutaro and a cat makes for the ultimate shot! At 19:00, it’s time for all the cats to line up for dinner! Just watching them all gobble up every single bite was the highlight of the night. Once they were full, they started to doze off into a deep slumber. Finally, Yutaro took one last photo with one of his new friends before bidding farewell. Returning back to the entrance, Yutaro took one of MoCHA’s original cat Mikuji fortunes (￥100). This was where the date ended. Incase you’re wondering what kind of blessing Yutaro got from the fortune slip, he got a “middle blessing”! According to the slip of paper, Yutaro must work his hardest with a meow! Watching Yutaro tire from all that exercise with the cats was very relaxing for me, so the person who was the most relaxed by the end was probably me?! I want to go on another date with Yutaro, so I’ll be working hard everyday with a meow! ※ At MoCHA, you are not allowed to forcibly hug the cats or force them to sit on your lap. If the cat jumps up onto your lap at its own will, then it’s ok. However, there are many timid cats so if one jumps on you, please leave them in peace. ■Information Cat Café MoCHA Shibuya Assorti Building Floor 8 & 9, 32-12, Udagawa-cho, Shibuya Times: 10:00 〜 22:00 Last entries: 21:30 No closing days all year round Access: A five-minute walk from Shibuya station URL：http://catmocha.jp/shibuya/Model：Yutaro @aaaoe__ Our Yutaro was born in Hiroshima on 3rd June 1998. His modeling career has earned him lots of attention as a fashion icon of the new generation. The famous model also works as a “charisma” shop assistant. Yutaro has gained his reputation as a “mysterious and handsome guy” from his appearance on Japanese variety shows. His debut was made on the show “Gyoretsu no Dekiru Horitsu Sodanjo” and has since then appeared on numerous different TV shows. He challenged himself to appear on stage for the very first time this year and is gaining popularity by the day for his diverse work.
