Tokyo is full of cafes catering to a wide assortment of tastes, but in recent years a new breed of coffee house has emerged for people who love to hang out with rabbits.
Ra.a.g.f, pronounced "raf," opened last fall in the fashionable Jiyugaoka area in Meguro Ward, and is usually packed at weekends with customers reveling in the company of the cafe's 20 to 30 rabbits.
"I came here during my break to relax," said a smiling woman in her late 20s as she fed fresh vegetables to some of the rabbits.
Customers who want to buy rabbits can purchase the animals from the cafe's breeding center - but the cafe's rabbit "staff" are not for sale. (Japan Times)
