The day I had been looking forward to for so long, when I’d get to go to my first cat cafe, finally arrived this morning as we made our way to the Curl Up Cafe which I’d read about in La Carmina’s book.

The cafe was filled with shelves, cubbies and hiding spaces for the cats to curl up in and there was a cat flap to the outside world, so they could escape from pesky customers. There were cat toys everywhere and a giant TV which I’ve read plays bird videos on repeat.

We could have spent all day with the cats but our hour flew by quickly and it was time to go and explore the rest of Tokyo.

Tom had mentioned wanting to find a good craft beer pub when we passed by the Watering Hole, which looked like his ideal place.

The waiter was excited when we told him we were from Scotland and pointed to a giant Brew Dog poster on the wall. They’ve just opened their own bar in Tokyo and I was surprised by how big they’ve grown in such a short time.

The menu was made up from business cards for each of the beers and there was a huge selection. Tom ordered me a fruity beer and we shared some sweet potato fries which were bright purple.

After the cuteness of the cat cafe, we couldn't resist trying out a bunny cafe too, so we headed to R.a.ag.f which had the tagline "rabbit and grow fat".

The bunnies were a lot more hyperactive than the cats and were also a lot harder to take a good photo of.

We ordered some drinks as some rabbit food and the bunnies started crawling on us. Unlike the cats, the bunnies are rotated in small groups so that they don't fight with each other.

Luckily we had the place to ourselves near the end, so we got plenty of fluffy attention. Some rabbits liked different food from the others so it was fun working out who wanted to eat what.
