Animals in Japan are popular. Unfortunately due to social way of life, not so much people get domestic animal even if the love them to much. Indeed, people work a lot, they have to leave home early and come back late and then, usually apartment are tiny. This does not mean there is no animal in none of shelters but it is not common. However, japanese get a concept with animals cafe. In Tokyo, for example you can enjoy your time in a "cat cafe" or "dog cafe" and then in "owl cafe".

It is a way to enjoy animals and give them some unencumbered love. You just come to the cafe, pay for a period from 10 minutes to one hour (depends of the cafe) and enjoy with animals.
