A vegan-friendly cafe with a roughly 200 sqm natural-turf dog run and indoor ball-pool run attached, built for guests to visit together with their own dogs. The kitchen also serves handmade dog meals made from the same safe ingredients as the human food.
Why it made the list
A rare Tokyo cafe where visitors can bring their own dog to play and dine alongside them, rather than meeting resident animals.
Good to know before you go
The official site describes a ~200 sqm natural grass dog run plus an indoor second-floor run and photo booth, with a pet hotel on site. The cafe serves enzyme brown rice and vegetarian dishes, and offers house-made dog meals that people can also eat. Closed Thursdays.
