Meet the Owl Concierges
At Akiba Fukurou, you won’t just meet owls—you’ll meet the people who’ve dedicated their lives to them.
So... what exactly is an “Owl Concierge”?
Apparently… they love owls so much, they invented an entire job just to be around us!
Wait, what?! They made up their own job?! That’s… kind of amazing. …And a little weird.
Yup. A little odd. But very dedicated.
They loved owls so much… they went ahead and invented an entire profession for themselves: The Owl Concierge.
But who are these curious caretakers, really? And what exactly do they do…? Let’s take a closer look.
A Day in the Life of an Owl Concierge
Our daily duties? They’re simple. And endless. And joyful.
- Feeding, caring for, and checking on each owl’s health
- Supporting new and prospective owl owners with care consultations
- Greeting guests from all over the world, and making sure they feel at home
- Maintaining feathers, beaks, and talons (ours stay sharp—literally!)
- Cleaning the café all day long… and then cleaning again
- Photographing the best moments of your visit
- Playing with owls. Napping with owls. Talking to owls.
- And, of course, falling in love with owls a little more each day
Our Philosophy
From the very beginning, we’ve believed in two simple things:
That our owls should live in peace, and that our guests should leave with a heart just a little lighter than when they came in.
If we can give you a moment of quiet joy, a feeling that maybe life is a little softer than it seems—then we’ve done our job.
New to Owl Cafés? Don’t worry.
First time meeting an owl? You’re not alone—and you’re very welcome.
Our Owl Concierges are here to help you feel at ease, and to guide you gently through your experience, introducing each owl based on their personality and mood.
We believe in slow, respectful connection. You won’t be rushed.
Just take a deep breath. The owls will show you the rest.

Still curious?
We know… we spend all day with owls, so we may be a little out of touch with the human world. But that’s okay.
If you ever want to talk owls—we’ll be thrilled. Maybe a little too thrilled.
Because in this quiet little corner of Tokyo, we believe that the time we spend building trust with animals might just be some of the most meaningful time we spend in our lives.
