My wife is a true animal lover, all kinds from turtles to kittens. So it was only natural when she started exploring Tokyo's eclectic cafe's that she would stumble across a unique adventure we couldn't pass up.
The Owl cafe, wasn't so much a cafe as it was a place to interact with a unique species we don't get to see often. They give you a bottle of water , so I assume that counts as being a cafe.
Regardless, the experience was well worth the $25 fee for entry (per person).
We were close to the Ginza shopping district so we decided to wander around. It's not much different than other shopping districts in the U.S., with high end stores. We didn't buy anything, although the highlight of the day came when I passed an older woman on the street. She had a shirt was some serious bling. It caught my eye because the words were in English, the shirt read " Don't smile , I just farted". I assume she had no clue what the words actually meant. It makes me think of those people in the U.S. with Japanese or Chinese tattoos, do they really know what they mean? :)

Our day ended with another cafe adventure. Evidently the Japanese take their eating adventures seriously. There are numerous themed cafe's throughout the city. We chose "Alice in Wonderland". There are multiple locations, each with their own unique design. Upon entry we found ourselves immersed in a different world. We were adorned with hats: My wife got bunny ears and I chose the Mad Hatter !

We flew out the next day from Haneda Airport, it's where most of the domestic air travel is located. Since were were headed to Okinawa we made plans to fly from there since it was closer than traveling all the way back out to Narita. It is located within the City of Tokyo, whereas Narita is almost an hours train ride from the center of Tokyo.
