A family-friendly animal cafe on the third floor of Harajuku's CUTE CUBE, where visitors meet small animals and cats without a booking.
Moff animal cafe CUTE CUBE Harajuku is an interactive animal cafe on the third floor of the CUTE CUBE building, just steps from Harajuku's iconic Takeshita Street. Opened in November 2025 as the 17th Moff animal cafe location, it gives visitors the chance to meet and handle a variety of small animals in a clean, well-maintained indoor environment. No reservation is required, which is a welcome convenience in a neighbourhood where many animal cafes demand advance booking.
The cafe is particularly family-friendly, with free entry for children under three years old, making it one of the most accessible animal experiences in central Tokyo for families with young children. A separate Cat Cafe MOFF section also operates within the same CUTE CUBE space for those who prefer feline company, so visitors can choose their preferred animal encounter or enjoy both in a single visit.
CUTE CUBE Harajuku sits at 1-7-1 Jingumae, easily reached from JR Harajuku Station or Meiji-jingumae Station. The building's closing days apply, so it is worth confirming the current schedule before visiting. The cafe is a lovely option for a gentle, smile-inducing break between Harajuku's more frenetic shopping streets.
My wife and I had a great experience feeding the chicks, parakeets, rabbits and more! The animals seem relaxed and well taken care of. I definitely would recommend feeding the chicks that was a highlight. Very friendly and welcoming staff as well.

We visited Japan with our kids and went to many of the pet cafes. This one was by far our favourite. Clean, open and very enjoyable. The animals seemed happy. We played for an hour with the baby chicks.This and the pig cafes were the best.

We discovered this place because our son wanted to visit an animal café. We were intrigued by the sloth on site and thought it was unique. The experience was fantastic; the staff were excellent and spoke enough English for us to enter and feed the animals without difficulty. The sloth was amusing and the tortoise was wonderful. Highly recommended!
