Owls, robots, and gold toilets...embrace the culture shock
In a city as unique and stimulating as Tokyo, there are certain ideas and spaces that just can’t be replicated anywhere else in the world. Sometimes it’s due to region-specific reasons and market demands, but sometimes it’s just a product of their riveting culture. From owl cafes to psychedelic robot shows, these are the things that can only be found in the captivating city of Tokyo.
Have you ever watched Harry Potter and realized you kind of need your own Hedwig? ‘Cause we totally have. At Café Fukuro Sabo, aside from having a cup of joe, you’re actually allowed to pick your favorite owl, and get up close and personal with those wise looking creatures. It’s like a dream come true.
If it’s a sensory explosion you want, then it’s a sensory explosion you’ll get. Only found in Japan, Robot Restaurant is famously known for its over-the-top, chaotic, and yet weirdly awesome Robot Show. Go if you want to be mindblown.
Don Quijote is one of those stores that perfectly represent what shopping in Tokyo is like: they sell anything and everything you can think of, and most of those items you never even knew you needed. If you go in without a plan, it might be hours before you re-emerge, and just a little less richer.
