This place is ideal for anyone who considers the owl to be their favorite animal. There are lots of owls to admire and pet, and the customer service is exemplary. My husband and I visited today and we had the best time. The two ladies were phenomenal at facilitating the experience. We selected the drink and dessert option and were promptly taken to a sitting area to enjoy the tasty drinks and desserts. Then, we were taken to the area where the owls hang out. What an amazing experience it was to see and pet the snowy, barn, eagle, screeching, burrowing owls, amongst others. We took lots of pictures and videos, and not once did we feel rushed. On the contrary, we were asked if we wanted to partake in the feeding time, which was a complete delight. This place is a must for owl lovers. We couldn’t have possibly felt happier!

In Harajuku, there is a cafe which is rare The Owl Village one, a place you have to be aware. Up a lift to the third floor, you'll go, To play with owls and watch them glow. Booking is essential, be sure to plan, For this cafe, is in demand. Lucky we were, as we walked right in An opening spot, and we let the fun begin. Touch them gently, hold them with care, A unique experience, beyond compare. The staff are lovely and kind Guiding you through, so you don’t lose your mind. So if you're looking for something new Owl Village Cafe, will leave you in a good mood. An experience like no other, you'll surely agree, An owl-adoring journey, you must come and see!

Such a fantastic experience! You can enjoy coffee, teas, or other beverages and desserts, and then you can go to an adjacent room to play with and feed the owls. The hosts are very friendly and speak both English and Japanese, and you can tell they really care about their owls. The owls are well trained and used to people, and they are free flying. The hosts explain how each ones like to be pet and held, and they even know what toys the owls like so that you can play with them. Overall this was an amazing experience and we would definitely go back again! Make sure you make reservations at least a day ahead of time, because spots do fill up!

Such a great cafe! The owls are super cute and you’re allowed to pet them and also feed them if you purchase the food. The staff is so nice, friendly and very interactive. If you’re trying to take a picture with or of and owl they will try to help you get the best picture by getting the owl to look at the camera! They also ask if you would like to participate in some training exercises with the owls. Would highly recommend this place!!

Not bad if you want to play with owls. The cafe itself is very small and I question the cleanliness of eating and drinking in the same areas that owls are flying around - I had assumed the cafe area was separate but there was no real separation. The owls’ room itself was very cramped and quite dirty and I do question the happiness of the owls… but that’s the issue at any animal cafe. The workers were very friendly and attentive and seem to really love the owls and what they do.

Very cosy owl cafe, there are about 20 owls of different species. The owls are very friendly and well taken care. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about owl care and how to make friends approach the owl to petting them safely. It is 2500yen for 1 hour interaction with the owls, including a drink and dessert or souvenirs. Also have a gift shop with many owl accessories! A must visit for any animal and owls lover! 🦉

The owls were soooo cute!!!! I can tell that they are very much loved and cared for. It was clear that the staff do genuinely care for them. They have rest period in between visitor time slots, which shows that the staff do make sure that they don’t get stressed or overwhelmed by the visitors. We had a great time with the owls!

I am so in love with all those cute owls and kitties. They were looking really healthy and the environment was clean. It felt like a walkthrough through an enchanted forest. Great experience and worth the visit!

I have been following Owl Village Cafe Harajuku’s instagram for over a year. When Japan reopened to tourists, I finally had the chance to visit this amazing place. The staff were extremely friendly and provided amazing hospitality when I was there. The owls were also very cute and I was able to take pictures with them together, to which I will cherish until I have the opportunity to return. I will definitely revisit whenever I am in Tokyo and also recommend this cafe to anyone who wants to visit 🦉 ありがとうございました!

Amazing place where you can interact with the friendly and beautiful owls!! The staff explain everything wonderfully and this place is English friendly! Incredible experience for any owl lovers or animal lovers in general. Staff were very nice, courteous, and helpful with showing us how to feed the animals and helping take pictures. Be sure to make reservations well in advance!

Definitely the highlight of my trip so far! Staff was so friendly and explained everything very well in English. You could totally tell they love their job. The owls are, by extension, loved very much and really well-cared for. Complimentary food and drink are nice too (you get to choose some waffles and get 2 souvenirs instead of 3. It was yummy!). Loving how they keep guests to a minimum for a reservation slot (I highly recommend you book in advance) so everyone can get plenty of chance to hang out with the owls and they don't get too overwhelmed by too many people. Spica steals the show and also my heart. Keep up the great work! Hope to be back soon!

This is so much fun! It's absolutely amazing to be able to play with these cute owls. The staff know the owls very well and exactly how to pet each one. The owls enjoy the attention given. I wasn't really there for food, not sure you'd want to try to eat around so many owls anyway, but I wasn't expecting a food experience. Expect to play with owls and you will have lots of fun.

I purchased the digital price online first to get a 20% off discount of the course. The staff are very kind and understanding. We were able to change our time slot on the same day and the staff were able to speak Japanese and English, making it very foreigner-friendly. Their explanations and encouragement were very cute and clear about the different owls. All the owls looked and displayed very relaxed attitudes

We went here in April 2019. The staff are friendly and the owls seem to be well taken care of. They rotate which owls you are able to engage with and feed so they can have a break and don't get over fed. They also tell you which owls do not prefer to be touched and of those you can pet they tell you where they prefer to be pet. If you ask you can also hold one of them on your arm with a glove on your hand. We had a blast at this place but it is very small so listen when they ask you to not arrive to early for your time slot.

Fun shop with unique owl petting experience. They even let you feed them part of their rations, pose with them, etc.

This was a fantastic experience! This my husband's and my first time in Japan and also to this establishment. I cannot stress how incredibly kind and welcoming the staff were. What was great about the staff was you could tell that they really felt a bond with every single one of the owls and could tell the owls cared for them in return. Normally, I stay away from "animal cafe" types because I've always felt strange about animals being in captivity, but this feels different. They instructed our group on proper ways to handle and pet the owls so we wouldn't hurt them or get hurt ourselves. They also had an option to feed the owls for an additional 500 yen. If possible, take this option as it gives you a closer experience to just how powerful and elegant these birds are. They're all beautiful and clearly well taken care of. We felt a little bad because we think the ladies working assumed we didn't have a good time, but we were trying to be considerate of the families with children who were excited. We still had a beautiful time, we're just incredibly socially awkward, so I think it appeared we didn't have fun. Thank you so much to the ladies who hosted us on New Year's Eve!

Cafe in Harajuku where they keep domesticated owls for show and tell. Cafe is cute and offers coffee and snacks all owl-themed. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable of all things owl, and try their best to get you that great shot. You get to pet owls and have them perch on your arm. Some owls are shy whilst others love being rubbed, all in good fun. 🦉They had a total of 18 owls inside their space, which is tiny, so reservations are recommended.

Super cute stay! ❤️❤️❤️ It was fun seeing all the different personalities the owls have. They're all so soft! The cafe owners and staff are all very informative and kind. I can really see that they like doing what they do! Thank you for the lovely time!

Visited the owl village on a weekday and it was packed!! We were lucky to get a spot so recommended to make a reservation in advance to secure a spot👍🏻 We enjoyed the staff interaction with the owl and it was an eye opener as well!! The female staff were very friendly and welcoming and they provided a lot of information on each owls and how we can interact safely with them!! This place is also English-friendly as well!! The owls are also very friendly and you can watch them fly around and even receive pats on the head or back!! Thank you for hosting my family and I and we look forward to our next visit to owl village! Gambatte💪🏼💪🏼

Despite some negative comments on animal cruelty, we decided to try out this owl cafe. Couldnt get a booking and decided to try our luck to walk in around 1.45pm, greeted by lovely staff who allowed us in to have a view. She mentioned there is a 2.10 booking that has not confirmed so we could try our luck at 2ish. We went to nearby coffee, came back at 2 and staff told us we got the slot! All of the staff knows every owl inside out, there are methods to pat or touch each owls. We are also given some time to hold the owl on your forearm, gloves on. The smaller owls are incredibly cute and timid, so they need gentler touch. Larger ones like bob are so friendly they allow some people to lean their cheeks on him. The staff treat these owls with utmost care, i dont sense any animal abuse of any sort. As of space restrictions, im no expert so cant comment on that. I would think the owls would be a lot more frantic if they are not feeling secure. Overall a very interesting experience, staff gives out lots and lots of freebies by the end of the session. Sometimes you might get lucky to get fresh cake splat from the owls too ;)

Amazing experience! Staff are super experienced and passionate about what they do, owls are super cute!

Owls, owls, owls. If you want to touch, play with, take pictures of, and spend time with owls you've found the place. Owls are free roaming in the Cafe and seem well treated. Staff is attentive to make sure you're entire tims there is full of activities. Will most likely go again someday.

GO HERE. Great customer service from the moment you enter the door with friendly welcoming staff. You can pet, hold, and give the owls toys to play with. Many owls to interact with and the staff will tell you what each owl likes and doesn’t like. You could tell the owls were very well taken care of and happy. A very safe, clean, and humane place. The staff will help you capture awesome moments and were so accommodating to our children. Make a reservation online in advance! Best experience hands down! Thank you!

Very cute The clerk is very enthusiastic You can even touch it at a very close distance

It's an amazing cafe! You get a timeslot of an hour and get to interact with the owls, get a lot of foto opportunities and also get to ask the staff a lot of questions about the animals. I enjoyed it a lot! They speak Japanese and English so communication was great. It was definitely worth putting into our Japan travel itinerary. Thanks again for the great time!

I needed to make a reservation!!! I went Jan 3, and they were full and they advise me to make a reservation so I did and came back Jan 5. Food is ok, around ¥3000 for dessert and drink. Kinda pricey. To feed them you can pay extra ¥500. But the experience was fun! The owls were super cute!!!! They are around 18 owls total!!

Incredible experience interacting with the owls. The owls are docile and you can pet them. The staff ensured that we get a lot of pictures with the owls. The staff is super friendly.

Amazing experience and cool interactions with owls

Lovely petit place with cute owls

Amazing! I was worried the owls would be scared or stressed out but they were so friendly and relaxed, and they were enjoying interacting with people. The staff genuinely care about the birds too, and it was such an awesome experience.

A fun experience in Harajuku! The owls are very cared for and the employees are very knowledgeable with their owls and overall made the experience the better! :) It’s by reservation and making it online was a breeze! Would highly recommend if you are in the area.

Was amazing, Haku came and sat on my head! They were so sweet ❤️ would come again!

This is one the most amazing ways to interact with owls. They are majestic and surprisingly friendly. I recommend feeding them as they will fly to you and to watch their tiny little faces light up when you give them the raw meat is everything!!! The staff is super friendly and so kind and respectful to the owls. Highly recommend this to anyone traveling in Tokyo.

Great place and very educational. The owls were so cute and we enjoyed interacting with them. The staff was very informative and professional

(Translated by Google) I went during the daytime on weekdays, but I could enter without reservation because there were no other customers! We waited while eating and drinking at the seat until the contact time. Owls can be seen from the window, so I want to touch them quickly! I could not wait 🥰 I laughed when one of the barn owls (I wonder if it's Alto?) thinks he is big lol. Everyone seems to have been together since they were small, and I thought they were on good terms and were familiar with each other! Each person has their own favorite touches, different facial expressions, different molting periods, and I'm glad they have their own personality! We are happy to receive can badges, figurines, and even cards! I will come again 🥰 🥰 (Original) 平日・昼間に行きましたが、他にお客さんがいなかったので予約無しで入る事ができました！ 触れ合いタイムまでは、席で飲食しながら待ちました。窓からフクロウたちが見えるので、早く触りたい！と待ちきれませんでした🥰 メンフクロウの一羽（アルトくんかな？）が自分を大型だと思ってると聞いて笑いました😂ユーラシアワシミミズクさんやベンガルワシミミズクさん達と一緒にいる様子が可愛かったです🥰 みんな小さい頃から一緒にいるそうで、仲が良いし人馴れもしているなぁと思いました！ 好きな触られ方もそれぞれあるし、表情もあるし、換羽期も違うし、個性があって良かったです！ 缶バッチや置物、カードまでいただいて満足です！また来ます🥰🥰

Very helpful staff and lovely time

We had an absolutely amazing time! The staff was friendly, and the owls looked to be happy and taken care of! Will definitely be coming back again and bringing my friends!

Very accommodating and great service. They also know how to speak English. I highly recommend this place. 😊

Owls are lively and friendly. Staff are fantastic. They speak English too!

Great place to see, touch and handle magnificent owls. The staff were very friendly, helpful and accomodating with letting us and the kids handle and hold many different owls, including a great knowledge of each owl, their personalities and general information. The price was reasonable for 60 minutes of unlimited contact, and included at least a drink and small gift, which some of the higher priced alternatives did not. The area is a little small and squishy if it gets busy, but with the the current closures and fears of public gatherings, it was very quiet. The staff spoke very good English. There is access via a lift to level 4 with only a half dozen stairs at the very bottom.

Owl Village is a very friendly store, you can feel the owner take care of the owl as their own family member, not an tool for making money. You can make your reservation online, their staff speaks English. Owl have break time for resting, their staff will give directions on how to interact with each Owl by their own personality. They also take owl for a fly walk outdoor, I would highly recommended this store if your interested to meet owls.

First trip to Japan and was recommended to check this place out. The girls cared for the birds and were very informative. The birds were allowed to relax between visits and didn't appear to mind the company. The larger owls weren't too fond of visitors but they didn't bother you if you didn't bother them. They just roamed the room to get around. The smaller owls were really nice and enjoyed being petted. Awesome experience in Japan. A must visit! Thanks again!

The owls looked healthy and well cared for. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I had a great time here! Each owl has a unique personality.

The place is foreigner friendly, with english explanations! The staff is really kind, the dessert is delicious, and the owls are amazingly cute! Definetely will come back with more friends!

Visited for the second time! I love this owl village. It is very quiet and quaint (for the sake of the owls). Normally you get to enjoy your cafe beverage in an area separate from the owl “encounter” room, but on my second visit, some of the owls were even hanging out in the cafe area! The staff was friendly and very helpful. You can pet and even hold some of the owls. Make sure you make a reservation at least one day in advance and come on out to the Owl Village in Harajuku!

Owls seem to be in good health and are trained and well accustomed to their surroundings and people. They have a good variety of large, mid to small size owls that are very interesting to observe and even hold/pet. Staff are incredibly friendly, and will go out of their way to make you and the owls feel comfortable. Do however note that it is very important to make a reservation beforehand as there is unlikely enough space for walk ins- that is unless another reservation falls through. Clean and pleasant environment, decent drinks, but the highlight is still plainly the owls. Would say it’s worth the fee to get up close and personal with them, photos are encouraged and staff will help you with that too.

The owls were sooo cute and sweet oh my goodness. All the workers also seemed to really care for them and were very kind and and helpful! I’d say the whole food snack part is just for the experience to eat as it was all pretty average however everything being owl themed was super cute! The owls were well trained and it was really cool too pet them. I can only hope they are happy and properly cared for which it seems :)

Very awesome owl experience, get to pet and hold the dozens of different owls here. Many different sizes and age groups. Alto #1 !!! (Massage his face, he loves it!)

The staff were very friendly. The attraction consists of first getting tea, coffee or soda and sitting in the café for fifteen minutes followed by the main attraction - about 30 minutes of owl petting. The staff lets you pet the owls, feed them, and hold them on your arm. The owls themselves were quite docile and relaxed. The staff told us that they were bred this way. However each owl was strapped to the table so they weren't able to fly around. Overall, it was an interesting experience.

The Owl Village is well worth stopping by if you’re visiting Harajuku. Just note that you will likely need a reservation as the space is small so numbers are limited. Luckily when we stopped by a space was available in an hours time. The experience is started with a refreshment and followed by a rundown of how to approach the owls as each has it’s own personality and like to be handled in a certain way, if at all. It is no problem at all to touch or have the owls rest on your arm and you may take as many photos as you like (no flash of course). Upon departure you are also given a small souvenir. For ¥2000-2500 it is well worth it.

It was a wonderful experience that's hard to forget :) Would definitely go back there again! We also got to feed the owls, and boy were they hungry! so much love for these animals!

Great to see and pet owls. They seem heavily sedated. However first and last time for me. These owls are chained to the tree so they aren’t able to fly or even walk further than 1 metre. It’s super sad as they are nocturnal and yet kept in bright daylight with some idiots flashing cameras at them and also petting their heads. It’s sad. I cried alot in this one. But 5 stars if you want to see owls. The place is very pretty and the staff is great too.

Very relaxing place to sit and rest for a while. The owls were very interesting to meet! They all have different personalities; different likes and dislikes. Playing with Alto(barn owl) made me want to own one haha

We visited the Owl Village in the middle of February on a Saturday and had a wonderful time! The owls were very friendly and they seemed really happy. They had large windows to look out. The staff was very kind and treated the animals very well. We got to hold the owls and feed them. My daughter loved nuzzling with the barn owls - she could pets their faces like you would a cat. The area was very clean and the owls were very clean too. I highly recommend this cafe. It was a truly wonderful experience.

Just awesome. The birds are super relaxed and friendly. You can see the staff really cares about them and for them, and they even have a 25 min break from humans every hour.

Absolutely amazing ! Stuff are friendly, such a peaceful, beautiful atmosphere. Can’t wait to come again. Thank you Owl Village !

The staff was very friendly and competent. Mozuku does have no friends, so when you visit this place make sure you pet him twice as much. Best owl

It was friendly stuff and friendly owls. I like it!

(Translated by Google) Prince Alto will welcome you (Original) アルト王子がお出迎えしてくれます

(Translated by Google) I visited there on weekdays when it was raining, so I was able to enter without a reservation. I had the owl touched for the first time, but it was so cute that I wanted to go again! (Original) 平日、雨のときにお伺いしたこともあり、予約なしで入れる事が出来ました。 フクロウを初めて触らしてもらいましたが大変可愛く、また行きたくなりました！

(Translated by Google) Good experience, much more fun than cat cafes. (Original) Bonne expérience, bien plus sympatique que les cat café.

Staff provided friendly service and was very informative/accommodating regarding the owls. The facility was very clean and the owls appeared to be well cared for. Would 100% recommend to owl and animal lovers alike !

(Translated by Google) The breeding space and the place to have tea are separated and there is a sense of cleanliness, and the clerk also kindly told me about owls (^ ^) I will ask again. (Original) 飼育スペースとお茶を頂く場所が分かれていて清潔感もあり、店員の方も丁寧にふくろうのことを教えてくださいました(^^)また伺います。

Really good place to interact with owls. The staff is really kind, we did have a good time.

All types of owls and they're all very friendly! Drinks, 35 minutes of playtime with owls, and a button. Caretakers seemed to really care about the owls health!

Lovely friendly staff (with good English). Feels like you got all the time with the owls, nit rushed at all.

Love them owls! Nice and clean place with good hygiene standards and separate divisions for cafe and owls. And the best part is that you get to play with the owls!

Very clean cafe, courteous staff, and the owls are so friendly; highly recommend!

We had a blast! Got the hour special: 1 drink, 35 minutes with owls, and a souvenir for 1500 yen. Added the 500 yen feeding option as well.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a lovely time with the owls here, getting to know their different personalities and habits!!

Very friendly staff, majestic and cute owls, good food and drinks, 10/10 would recommend :)

(Translated by Google) Nice place, I liked it!)) (Original) Хорошое место , мне понравилось!))

The owls are so gorgeous. My partner and I enjoyed our time relaxing and watching the owls up close here!

Very cool experience!

Much love for all the cute owls!

Very light hearted and fun experience. Getting to interact with the owls is great. Staff speak English really well. Highly recommend.

Early morning is quiet and lots of time to see the owls. Great drinks and snacks as well. Welcoming staff make it a great experince.

Cute owls, nice staff

Such happy, cute owls - and the staff is sweet as well! An awesome experience.

Very friendly staff and very nice owls

I went along a little reluctantly with a friend to this cafe. The owls looked healthy and the young girls handling them seemed to genuinely care for them. I felt terribly sad that these beautiful nocturnal creatures were so far from their normal, natural habitat. They had elastic stays attached to their feet which were removed at times so they could fly to one of their keepers for food. My friend enjoyed the experience of feeding some of the owls and having one sit on her arm.

Amazing experience. The owls are really amazing and love to be touched and held so it's one of the only places you can get this close to owls! 100% recommend this cafe!

THE OWLS R SO FLUFFY IM GONNA DIE!! Super cute and well behaved owls! 10/10 will visit again 😂

Amazing place! I had an awesome experience and recommend you to visit this place 😊

I have had a really enjoyable experience here, as you enter in it’s a really cute little cafe. They offer different bundles that allow you to enjoy a drink and interact with the owls. You can feed the owls and take a photo/video of the owl flying to your arm as you feed it. They also have a cute dog which you can feed some treats and are allowed to play with.

Had the best time here. My wife’s favorite animal is an owl she cried when she walked in. The owls look so happy and are very friendly.

Absolutely loved this place and the amazing experience they have to offer! The owls are so friendly and curious. The employees really care about them. If you’re looking for an owl cafe, I definitely recommend coming here!! I’m planning on coming back when my family comes to visit.

The owls were really cute!! The staff was also really nice and treats the owls really well!

This was an amazing experience to feed and pet owls. We got to learn about them and their personalities. The little ones were adorable. It was so cool, and we got many things from them in our package including drinks, candies, magnets, souvenirs. I enjoyed many parts of my Tokyo vacation and this was definitely a highlight.

So cute!! Friendly staff, spoke English (the staff, not the birds) which was so helpful! The birds were so cute and soft! I adored every minute! Would totally come again!

Super cute! Owls so friendly, staff speaks Japanese and English, play time pretty enough for enjoy all owls.

The owls were well cared for, loved and they also are good listeners whenever you have a bad day and need someone to talk to. I would definitely want to come visit thesee 100% cute fat fluffy feather balls again the next time if I ever get the chance

The owls here are beautiful! The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating as well! One of them is really good looking too. Haha

This is a very good place to relax and interact with the owls, as each owl has its own characteristics. The staff here are very friendly and professional, they will teach you how to interact with each owl. It is a wonderful experience, and I love it.

amazing service! staff speak english and are friendly, they tell you the personalities of each owl and what they like to do. owls are free to interact and take pictures with. would definitely come back again! such a great experience!

Such a cool experience being able to pet and interact with the various owls. They were all so cute and the staff is wonderful. Recommend to come by and enjoy the unique experience.
