Cafe of the Day

Another day, another only in Japan experience. Today, I visited a micro-pig café.

Beverages are an after-thought here, although you could treat yourself to an assortment of coffee and juice. This is purely a place to offer your body as use of a pillow for a bunch of absolutely adorable and sociable micro-pigs of varying sizes and ages. According to staff, if the bigger pigs take a nap on you, it is a sign of good luck. This happened twice during my hour in their presence. I’m not sure how lucky my day will be but it definitely started out on a good note.

miPig Café is located in the Harajuku district of Tokyo, Japan. As with most things now that travel has opened back up, reservations are highly recommended.

The max number of micro-pigs that used me as a comfy nap spot was five. My legs went numb after awhile but I didn’t want to disrupt them. miPig Café, Tokyo (©2023, Deborah Clague).
