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.
