We had a 60 minute time slot, the beginning of which we were given detailed instructions about the manner and way of handling the owls. After the instruction, we were able to play with the owls.</p> <p>The women running the establishment were really friendly and were so loving to the owls, they really helped us to understand the owls that we interacted with!<br/> 
There were a few owls we were allowed to handle in our allowed time, while some others were in an area where they rested.<br/> 
It was a really great experience!! The owls were very well behaved and were incredibly friendly. There is also a really cute little owl goods shop in the cafe~!</p> <p>You should definitely visit someday if you have the chance!</p> <p>Here’s their blog: <a href="http://blog.livedoor.jp/owlfamily/">http://blog.livedoor.jp/owlfamily/</a></p> </blockquote> <p>oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my gohhhdddddd</p> </blockquote>https://mtravel.tumblr.com/post/84978589104https://mtravel.tumblr.com/post/84978589104Tue, 06 May 2014 21:34:39 -0400<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/b321e5cbd0d75ee2f2211215dda8ee94/tumblr_n3igecWNqG1qmi74fo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/b962aba2203a74cfb6119c25883c3eac/tumblr_n3igecWNqG1qmi74fo6_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/c90315fa9e9742b0a391484be241c4e6/tumblr_n3igecWNqG1qmi74fo5_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/37267b7b487ffc77d339ea12160d2b93/tumblr_n3igecWNqG1qmi74fo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/a798af180ab759c5a67ccfd99ecc6bb5/tumblr_n3igecWNqG1qmi74fo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://travelry.tumblr.com/post/82414108548/the-most-beautiful-cat-cafe-i-have-been-to-its">travelry</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The most beautiful cat cafe I have been to. It’s called <a href="http://www.temarinoouchi.com/">Temari no Ouchi</a> (Temari’s house) in Tokyo, Japan. The soft music and ambience feels like you are in a Studio Ghibli film. Had to take the Japan Railway there, but was totally worth the extra trip, & unlike the central Tokyo cat cafes, this one has no time limit, so feels totally relaxed.
