What a Hoot! Owl Cafés in Japan Let You Pet Adorable Owls All Day

Right, we're booking our flights to Japan.

We’ve heard of cat cafés but this latest novelty eatery blows them right out of the water – that’s right, owl cafés.

This magical places are pretty much exactly what their title suggests; a café full of owls for people to admire and even pet.

Their popularity has grown since last year, but sadly all of these wonderous establishments are in Japan with Fukurou Sabou (Owl Teahouse) in Tokyo, Owl Family in Osaka, and Crew, another owl cafe in Osaka.

We’re saving up for tickets already. Here are some of our favourite pictures from these great cafés:
