The Owls’ Gratitude
At Owl Cafe Tokyo Akiba Fukurou, we believe that kindness creates ripples far beyond what we can see.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, our café, our beloved owls, and everything we had built faced an uncertain future.
There were days when we truly feared we would have to close our doors forever. It was a time of deep uncertainty, and we struggled to see a path forward.
But in our most difficult moments, we were embraced by extraordinary kindness from around the world.
From near and far, we received not only heartfelt messages of encouragement, but also generous financial support that allowed us to keep going.
This generosity gave us the strength to continue—and more than that, it gave our owls a future.
Thanks to this overwhelming kindness, today we are here, living the life we cherish—caring for our owls, welcoming guests once more, and sharing this peaceful sanctuary with everyone who steps through our doors.
Every visit to Akiba Fukurou is a reminder that kindness has the power to create something lasting. We are forever grateful.
To honor the generosity we received, we have committed to giving back. Through our initiative, “The Owls’ Gratitude,” we support wildlife conservation efforts worldwide—because we believe that the kindness we receive should extend beyond our café and into the world.
Our Commitment to Conservation
A portion of our proceeds is donated to trusted conservation organizations that work to protect owls, birds, and their natural habitats.
Through these contributions, we support:
✔ Rescue and rehabilitation of injured or endangered owls
✔ Conservation efforts to protect forests and wetlands
✔ Wildlife medical research and care programs
✔ Educational initiatives promoting ethical animal welfare
Our actions may be small, but we believe that every effort counts. Just as kindness kept our café alive, these contributions help ensure that owls and other wildlife can continue to thrive.

Your Visit, Their Future
When you spend time with our owls, you are not just creating a cherished memory—you are taking part in something greater.
The quiet moments of connection, the sense of wonder, and the appreciation for nature that you experience here all have an impact. The kindness that flows through this café reaches beyond its walls, helping to protect the fragile ecosystems that owls and countless other species call home.
A single visit may feel small, but kindness, when shared, grows into something powerful.
Thank you for being a part of this journey.
With gratitude, from all of us at Akiba Fukurou.
