April had pointed out the owl cafe which she had not visited and we decided that we would give it a go. You pay about 1500 yen (about $15.00), have a drink, tea or coke and then get to spend an hour with the owls, holding them and "talking" to them. I'll let my pictures do most of the talking, except to say that the first owl bit me, didn't hurt, but it scared me. Liked the last owl, the barn owl best.
What a fun idea - I like Barn Owls too.
ReplyDeleteWow, that must have been an amazing experience. Love the new header.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun place to visit. I find big birds a bit scary and I am not sure if I could hold one. Two two are braver than I. Have a great weekend. x
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun place to visit.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

What a wonderful experience, to hold them and have such a close view.
ReplyDeleteA very novel idea for a cafe. You,re very brave after your first experience, B x
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you would go to a Cat Tea Room while you were there.
ReplyDeleteI think they would get tired of the handling and noise ? Love all owls and adore the small one before the charming Barn Owl.
cheers, parsnip
Me thinks that there are facial resemblances twixt bird and humans :-) ?
ReplyDeleteI like the new header painting ...
ReplyDeleteNow that's a different cafe - great to see the photo's of you with the owls.
All the best Jan
sounds like a fun idea. I'm sure there would be way too many regulations to ever allow something like that here.
ReplyDeleteWow cool. Living in North Idaho I've seen a few snow owl and now wonder if northern Japan or higher elevation might have them.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Well, OWL be darned! HA!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at pictures of owls but I'm not so sure how I'd feel actually holding one! ;)
ReplyDeleteIntriguing idea - I can't see it catching on over here though. Must admit, when I go to a cafe I want a coffee, maybe something to eat and a natter if I'm with someone; fondling animals doesn't do a great deal for me, but each to their own. Do they do ones with lions, tigers and bears too?
ReplyDeleteWow that was an interesting place! :)
