Full description

This is a 1-hour experience in Tokyo. It is run by (Maid Cafe) at-home cafe, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Tokyo is the largest city on earth by metropolitan population and it is best seen as a set of neighbourhoods on the Yamanote loop line rather than one place. Asakusa has Senso-ji, the city's oldest temple, and Nakamise's shopping lane; Shibuya has the scramble crossing and Shinjuku the bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho; Harajuku is Takeshita Street and Meiji Shrine's forest; Akihabara is electronics and anime; Ginza is department stores and sushi counters. Everything runs on time and the last trains are around midnight. Cash still matters in small restaurants, an IC card covers every train and bus, and tipping is not done anywhere.

The price covers Priority admission fee, Choice of food or dessert, Soft drink, CHEKI and Exclusive maid photo memory holder. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

(Maid Cafe) at-home cafe sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with (Maid Cafe) at-home cafe before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Includes

  • Priority admission fee
  • Choice of food or dessert
  • Soft drink
  • CHEKI (Polaroid photo with maid’s personalized art)
  • Exclusive maid photo memory holder

A great experience, completely different atmosphere than in the evening; definitely try both times.

Mithilfe unserer Buchung konnten wir tatsächlich an einigen Personen vorbeigehen, es warten immer Leute auf Einlass. Die Maids sind sehr freundlich, das Essen und die Getränke sind sehr schmackhaft. Die gemeinsamen Fotos wurden zusammen auf einer Bühne gemacht und durch die Maids personalisiert. Die Atmosphäre im Café ist etwas laut und hektisch. Zum Großteil sind natürlich Männer anzutreffen...

Von Anfang bis zum Ende voll lieb. So süß die Mädels, die haben Spaß, wir hatten Spaß und das Foto machen war drollig. Wir kommen auch gerne wieder, weil das was völlig Anderes ist und es wirklich Freude macht. Und der servierte Süsskram war auch ziemlich lecker. Alles in Allem-ein Event den man nicht verpassen sollte:-)

Très Japon, très kitsch, les filles sont adorables. C’est exactement comme on se l’imagine. Merci pour la qualité de l’accueil et du Service. On s’attendait à ne pas bien manger et avoir juste un accueil sympa et qu’elle ne fut pas notre surprise de découvrir que la cuisine était aussi très bonne.

Frequently Asked Questions

(Maid Cafe) at-home cafe sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or late October to early December for autumn colour and the clearest skies. Contrary to most advice, October is Tokyo's wettest month (234.8 mm), not the June rainy season. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Tokyo guide.
Get a Suica or Pasmo IC card and budget ¥1,000–¥1,400 a day. Do not buy a JR Pass for a Tokyo-only trip — it costs ¥50,000 and excludes Tokyo Metro and Toei entirely. Note JR East raised Tokyo fares on 14 March 2026, so Metro is now cheaper than JR on several routes. See getting around Tokyo.
Shibuya Sky releases tickets only 14 days ahead at 00:00 JST — it cannot be booked months in advance. teamLab Borderless tickets drop at 12:00 JST on the 1st of each month. Our 3-day Tokyo itinerary lists every booking deadline.
Yes — a Japanese licence or an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. 1968 Vienna Convention permits are not valid in Japan. Licences from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan need an official JAF translation instead. Arrange it before you fly; see the Tokyo go-kart guide.
Yes — the highway bus from Busta Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko takes about 1h 45m for ¥2,200. But manage expectations: Fuji is visible on 84% of December mornings and only 23% of July mornings, and cloud builds through the day, so go early. Details in our Mount Fuji day trip guide.
Edomae sushi (the Tokyo Bay style, where curing began as a workaround for having no refrigeration), monjayaki — a runny griddle dish unique to Tokyo with 80+ specialists on Tsukishima's Monja Street — and soba. Also worth knowing: Tsukiji Outer Market never closed; only the wholesale auction moved to Toyosu. See the Tokyo food guide.
The crossing itself takes about ninety seconds. What makes it worth an evening is one street back — Nonbei Yokocho, a lantern-lit alley of tiny bars a minute away that almost nobody who photographs the scramble walks into. Note street drinking is banned in the area 18:00–05:00 year-round, though the ordinance carries no fine. See the Shibuya Crossing guide.
Yes, some. Japan's cashless ratio reached 58% in 2025, so over 40% of payments are still cash — and card refusal is most likely at small independent izakaya, ramen ticket machines and market stalls. Tipping is not expected anywhere.
