[Travel Journal] Maid Cafe – Akihabara, Tokyo

People around me keep on talking about Doll Cafe (Normal address as maids cafe), and their experience in doll cafe. I don’t what is it, and wish to know more about it, then I go surf net… then I found out Doll cafe only available in Japan and Hong Kong in Asia country.

I decided I need to visit at least one of the shop, a friend volunteer to go with me. We choose the Cafe Doll Tokyo, it was because most of the doll cafe located at the second floor, we just don’t know what will happened inside there, so better choose the one located ground floor… Hahaha Kiasi lo~

Once we enter, we been address as “syujin” (Meaning Master). They don’t allow to take photo inside the cafe. My friend and I feel a bit uncomfortable because the girl in the cafe treat you as master, they even stir the coffee for you, add sugar for you, is much more different from normal cafe or restaurant I had been visited.

Of course the girl wear like this…

This Doll Cafe is a bit different with what my friend told me so… The place my friend go, the maid/dolls/girl will sit with them and Chit-chat/or play board games with them. Maybe I been to the wrong place… I went to this cafe right before I back to Malaysia.

Inside this cafe, everyone seem to be so quiet, the most noisy people would be my friend and I. We chit chat with the dolls whenever they’re free, we asked so many question which we don’t know… (Secret about the Q&A).

On the table there is a small disclaimer stand. It write some Rules and regulation or T&C of the cafe.
It goes like this…
1. Customer can’t not have direct contact with all the maids, such like touch them.
2. Customer is not allow to bring any maids to any place.
etc (Forgot)

Of course we will never touch any of them, but maybe the disclaimer is meant for Japanese male.

If you’re in Japan, please don’t miss this kind of cafe…

    I love the weird cafes and places they have in Tokyo, I read about one where you can go and rent a cat to pet for a few hours. The place was wildly successful, because people in Tokyo don´t have room in their apartments for pets…
