Capybara Cafés
Capybara Cafés
Posted by cbayerlein on April 11, 2025 at 2:51 pmWe would love to go to a capybara cafe in Tokyo. I saw that there are several but I don’t know which one is the best place, especially in terms of accessibility. Do you have any recommendations?

We went to place in Dome City, it was like a mini zoo. They had capybara sloths goats pigs, chickens, lemurs, birds, rabbits I can’t think of everything and it was like ¥1800 to get in and you can stay as long as you want and with your past to get in and they give you tickets so you can buy food and feed everybody. I really enjoyed it because I love sloths. And to be that close to one was wonderful. I looked up the capybara Café and they were very expensive. It was almost $50 American.. This is not a café obviously it’s more of a place just to walk around. We were there for me an hour at the most. Some people go with their kids and they have a little books so you could read with them. It was really nice.
I don’t want to upset anyone, but I feel it’s important to share that there are concerns about the treatment of animals in Japan, especially in animal cafes and some zoos. Many claim that conditions are unsuitable, and the animals suffer from stress and exploitation. Tourists are often advised to avoid visiting such places. I myself wanted to visit a cat cafe and a zoo, but I just don’t have the heart to do it if the animals are truly treated this way.
Hello everyone,
I came here to write exactly the same.
I won’t repeat but confirm.
Avoid any pet cafe.
I can recommend Capybara Pui Pui in Yokohama (not Tokyo, but pretty close). The owner cares deeply about his animals, and I think they would try to accommodate your situation. They have a significant online presence so you can look into it further.
