i'm not even gonna ask you if you like cute cuddly hedgehogs because
who doesn't anyway if you're like me and you really enjoy watching these little balls
of cuteness run around and play then why not try an experience i totally recommend
i'm talking about hedgehog cafes and pet stores of course one such location is situated close
to harajuku station and is accessible via the elevator to the fourth floor
when you get there you will immediately be greeted by the warm implied staff who will
give you information about the prices and the events that go on at the cafe
please note that everyone loves hedgehogs so there may be quite a q if you visit a peak hours
that's nothing to worry too much about though as you can use this
time to prepare your mind for the cuteness you're about to experience
first things first as cute as hedgehogs can be they're also quite spiky so be sure to
wear protective gloves unless you want your hands to spring a leak once you're all gloved
up and have paid your 1600 yen fee for 30 minutes of hedgehog time then you're ready to
there are go stations with adequate space to accommodate a small group so your hedgehog
feeding can be a group experience you share with your friends or family of course you can take
pictures with the hedgehogs and you're entitled to one free drink per ticket but you'll have to
bring your own food if you want something to snack on while watching hedgehogs play about
you can upload clips on snapchat or instagram with the cafe's wi-fi and the ambience is well
suited to relaxation and comfort in fact everything about the cafe hints at care
and security from the well-kept nature of the hedgehogs to the comfortable
and tasteful furnishing it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime experience
the hedgehogs themselves are african pygmy hedgehogs
this means that they're domesticated and smaller with lighter colored spines
and an adorable pink little snout unlike the larger and more prickly european variety
once you pay for your ticket you are treated access to a personal terrarium with two to six
hedgehogs to play with and these hedgehogs get enough time to rest so that they don't get too
stressed out now hedgehogs can't see very well so you have to be careful when handling them so they
don't get scared once they are done playing they are taken to a special rest area to have a nice
little nap i had the pleasure of meeting two cute little hedgehogs with the most adorable pink noses
one of them was a bit grumpy because hedgehogs are typically nocturnal so we put him back in
his home for a nap and he rested while we played with his friend all in all it was one of the most
fulfilling experiences i've ever had and even more good news they actually sell hedgehogs so i plan
on getting one as soon as possible if you haven't checked this place out yet what are you waiting
for do yourself a favor and have a little rest and connect yourself with these cute little monsters
