Located in Tokyo's Sumida district, cafe capyba is a unique animal cafe that opened in April 2023 where visitors can interact with two resident capybaras named Pinsuke and Kohaku in a cozy, intimate setting. The reservation-only establishment requires bookings up to two weeks in advance due to its popularity and limited capacity, with visitors paying an entry fee plus mandatory drink purchase for a 30-minute session with the world's largest rodents. Inside the cafe, the capybaras roam freely among guests, lounging on sofas and occasionally approaching visitors, particularly when enticed with vegetable treats available for purchase. Cafe staff are attentive in helping guests interact with the animals, ensuring everyone gets an opportunity to pet them and take photos regardless of whether they purchase treats. The cafe has gained significant popularity through social media, drawing both local and international visitors eager to experience close encounters with these gentle, peaceful creatures that have become internet sensations for their docile nature and adorable appearance.
