New Guide Book From AnimalCafes.com Takes You to the Very Best Cat, Owl and Rabbit Cafes in Japan

Tokyo, Japan, January 25, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Which cat cafe in Tokyo is always jumping? Which rabbit cafe in Kyoto is always hopping? And which owl cafe is always a hoot? The answers to all these questions and more can be found in "Animal Cafes," the bilingual English/Japanese book from AnimalCafes.com, the only English-language site dedicated to Japanese cat, bird and rabbit cafes. With helpful lessons on rules and etiquette in the cafes, this book will enhance your visit to an animal cafe and become a handy souvenir of your trip. ​

The 45 showcased venues offer a uniquely Japanese experience of animal therapy. Illustrated with hundreds of photographs of cute cats, rabbits, owls and tropical birds, "Animal Cafes" introduces you to the best places in Japan to enjoy some animal therapy. Each venue has a double-page spread in English and Japanese with full details about location, prices, opening times and even featured species and breeds. 

Animal cafes originally bloomed in Japan because of strict no-pet rules in apartment blocks, but today you'll find flocks of tourists in the cat cafes too. Places like Nekorobi cat cafe in Ikebukuro and Akiba Fukurou owl cafe in Akihabara usually have more foreign guests than locals. Candy Fruit Rabbit Mansion is a big draw as a rabbit cafe whose staff wear maid uniforms in the heart of Akihabara. 

The book is the brainchild of the writers and photographers Robb Satterwhite and Richard Jeffery at AnimalCafes.com, Japan's most comprehensive guide to the ever- expanding world of pet cafes. In addition to cafes, the website also covers field trips to rabbit island and other exotic locations, shops selling pet goods in Tokyo, and even capybara parks and alpaca farms in the country.
