【東京】 Animal Encounter Cafe: Hedgehogs, Owls & Monkeys

Just a 6-minute walk from Iidabashi and Kudanshita stations, Harinezumi-ya Potta is a relaxing spot near the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Dome, and Budokan. Step inside and leave the city behind—you’ll feel like you’ve arrived at a friend’s house or a secret retreat. This charming two-story shop features a red exterior and a bar on the first floor for guests who just want drinks. Head upstairs to meet our animals. Curious about hedgehogs? At Potta, you can gently touch them with your bare hands and feel their warmth and texture. Feed them and snap rare, adorable photos and videos. You can also interact with tiny monkeys and owls for a unique, heartwarming experience you won’t forget.
