Meet Our Owl Concierge
At Akiba Fukurou, we are proud to have our very own resident Owl Concierge Team.
What is an Owl Concierge?
You might say… they loved owls so much that they created the role themselves.
Yes — it may sound a little unusual.
But perhaps that is exactly what makes it special.
Who Are the Owl Concierge?
An Owl Concierge is not simply a caretaker.
They are dedicated professionals who support every aspect of life with owls from welcoming guests from around the world, to breeding, care, and long-term support for owl keepers.
In a way, they are both butlers to the owls and personal guides for our guests.
A Day in the Life
Their daily work includes:
• Caring for and monitoring the owls
• Supporting guests with gentle guidance
• Maintaining beaks and talons
• Capturing your best moments in photographs
• Cleaning and preparing the environment
• Checking equipment and supplies
• And sometimes… simply resting together with the owls
In short a life entirely devoted to owls.
Spending every day with owls… it must mean they truly love them.
Our Philosophy
Since the very beginning of Akiba Fukurou, we have held one belief close to our hearts:
That our owls may live peacefully, and that every guest may leave with a sense of happiness.
It may sound simple — perhaps even a little idealistic but if your visit leaves you thinking,
“Life feels a little lighter today.”
“I’m glad I came.”
Then we feel we have done something meaningful.
For First-Time Visitors
Even if this is your first time visiting an animal café, please feel completely at ease.
Our Owl Concierge Team, who spend every day alongside these birds, will gently guide you in how to interact with each owl, respecting their individual personalities and comfort.
Because they spend every day with owls, it seems they understand them more than most.

A Final Note
If there is ever something you do not understand about owls,please feel free to speak with our Owl Concierge.
They may be a little unusual after all, they spend nearly all their time with owls but they will be more than happy to share their knowledge with you.
A Small Note
Our Owl Concierges seem to have many friends… mostly among the owl family.
As they spend nearly all their time caring for owls, their circle of human friends may be a little… limited.
They might appear slightly out of step with the ordinary world but if you take a moment to speak with them, you may find they are quietly delighted.
