[Update, January 4 2021] Kawaii Monster Cafe announced on its website that it will close down permanently on January 31 2021. No reason was given, but it's likely the Covid-19 pandemic and consequent lack of tourism played a role. There's still time to enjoy one last visit with Tokyo's cutest monsters, who have been hanging out in Harajuku for the past five years.

As the name gives away, this café, opened right by Laforet Harajuku, is packed with elements drawn from all things kawaii. With interiors done by Harajuku heavy-hitter Sebastian Masuda, it's a fantastic merry-go-round of super-cute elements, and offers four types of appropriately OTT seating in areas labelled Mushroom Disco, Milk Stand, Bar Experiment and Mel-Tea Room. If you're easily overwhelmed, best steel yourself before heading over.
