Wonderful little spot with three adorable capybaras! It was an incredible experience feeding and patting them up close. We even got to get a cozy with them on the beds. The staff were also very friendly and informative. Overall great experience. Would recommend!

This was an amazing experience. This cafe was VERY clean. The capybaras are washed 3 times a day and they are given long breaks to nap. These are 3 very happy cappys. They are calm and really love belly rubs. The staff is kind, helpful, and have a real love for the animals. 10/10 for sure!

Such a fun experience to meet the Capybaras and play with them! They are so adorable, gentle, and friendly. Staff was very nice too and we had a great time overall. It ended too soon! I could play with them all day! Haha. I would definitely recommend a visit if you are in Tokyo!

What a great, intimate experience with the capybaras! The staff were knowledgeable and so sweet. They knew all three of the capybaras on a personal level; what their likes were, their personalities quirks. This showed that they really care about these animals. Facility was clean and included a cup of grass per 3 people to feed them. There was a cute short video to educate you on capybaras as well. I know animal cafes get a lot of controversy but I did not feel guilty with this experience. Entire family loved this experience!

I found this place on TikTok and it did not disappoint! The Capy’s are adorable. The staff is professional and kind - they took their time and explained everything well. They really did everything they could to help you have a great experience and get great pics while respecting the animals. They do require a reservation - so book before you arrive. It was very very worth it. A memory my kids won’t forget!

A highlight of our Japan trip. I’m a very animal orientated person and can assure you these girls are well loved and cared for. The staff were cheery and helpful. I’ve never touched or interacted with a Capybara before and they were gorgeous. Loved a scratch on the back, under the jaw and would roll on their side for a belly scratch. Totally recommend a visit.

This was an incredible experience! The staff was great and it was so cool to hang with the capybaras! They had a great outdoor area on a rooftop for them to get fresh air!

This was a really awesome experience. We got to interact, pet, and feed 3 capybaras. One can even do a trick! The staff is very friendly and helpful. There’s also time for staged photos and you get drinks included with your tickets. They are so sweet and the time flies by. I highly recommend if you like capybaras or just want to try something you’ve never done before.

Friendly staff. Not overcrowded like some of the other animal cafes. Cute capybaras. Easy to get lots of photos. Great experience. Recommend.
CAPPINESS is a hands-on capybara cafe in Tokyo. Guests spend time with gentle capybaras, feed them, and take photos during a 40-minute session.
Yes, solo guests are very welcome. Sessions are small and our staff are in the room with you the whole time, so it doesn’t feel awkward. If you are on your own, just tell us and our staff will take plenty of photos of you with the capybaras.
Yes. All sessions are conducted entirely in English, so international guests can enjoy the experience with no language barrier.
Yes. You are welcome to take photos and videos, and our staff will also take a group photo for you.
Only guests age 5 and older may enter, and children aged 5 to 12 must be accompanied by a guardian. Please note that accompanying adults pay the fee as well.
CAPPINESS is a place where people and capybaras can be at ease together.
Our name combines “Capybara” and “Happiness”, because these gentle animals bring a kind of calm that is hard to put into words.
We call ourselves a “cafe,” but a visit is about time with the animals. To keep the rooms clean, the drink corner and the interaction area are separate, and drinks are self-service only. The capybaras are the point, not the coffee.
Sessions are limited and reservation-only. Book your spot today.
