mipig cafe Harajuku

This place is super cute. My husband and I booked a reservation for 55 minutes. I thought the pigs would be like dogs and interact and walk around. They walk around alittle, but they mostly pass out on your laps. It was still a sweet and unique experience. I honestly think the shorter time frame would have been sufficient for me, but it was still a fun experience as long as you factor in the following: 1. They are animals, so they wont smell like a field of daisies. Some of them are potty trained, but the younger ones (3 and 4 month olds) will simply pee on the floor and try to crawl into your lap 5 seconds later 🤣. We ended up leaving after 50 min instead of the full 55 because one pig was cutely persistent and wanted to crawl on my lap, but it was after stepping in its own urine. A blanket was provided for my lap, but I didn’t want to take a risk and get pig pee on my clothes on a HOT summer day. I wouldn’t have smelled very good for the rest of the evening. 2. Some of the pigs get feisty or will initiate little fights with one another. If you have dogs or pets, this prob won’t bother you— it’s just alarming when you hear it because they are oinks, squeals, and grunts. It’s not something you hear everyday. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They all speak English. The pigs are monitored by several ladies who help navigate the pigs around and they also “break up fights” or redirect the pigs when needed. At one point I had 4 piglets in my lap!! It was adorable. The older pigs scared me a little bit. Some of them tried to show dominance by scaring off the little ones, but I would use my arm to redirect the big ones from scaring off the little ones who were contently sleeping on my lap! Reservation def recommended. It was packed when we got there (follow the email directions and get there 10 min before reservation time to give yourself time to sign the terms and conditions/ store your belongings in a locked cabinet). and the line was already queuing when we got up to leave. I wasn’t offered any drinks during my stay, so I’m not sure where the “cafe” part comes into play. In the end, I was happy to see all the cute piggies. I don’t know if I would want to drink anything while petting the pigs anyway. It was a fun and memorable experience.

This experience is worth every penny! The piggies are so cute and snuggly and will climb right up on your lap as soon as you sit down. The staff are also very kind and accommodating. If you have time I would recommend doing an hour, because 25 min will fly by.

Such a happy experience 💜. Piggies are so so so lovely and they are so much loved with the staff. When they quarrel staff immediately picks them up and talk to them 💜. 2 small baby brothers came to my lap and one of them slept for all 45 minutes I had. It felt so good touching him gently and felling his heart beat. Thank you all

Just wow. 😍 This place is all it's cracked up to be! The adorable piglets hop right up on your lap and make the cutest sounds. There were several "spunky" pigs but the attendants helped manage them. So fun to have this experience- I think 30 minutes was perfect. One of the trip highlights!

Amazing experience! We had a group of 5 and showed up as a walk-in because on google it says "reservations accepted," but it turned out it was ONLY reservations! Luckily, there was a reservation available 30min from when we showed up. You can choose private room or general room - we chose the private room which is worth it since you are designated two piglets for your group and guaranteed that quality time. The private room was nice because we were guaranteed an interaction with the piglets, but we ended up getting two little siblings who wanted to cuddle and stay together. Anytime someone in our group wanted a turn we had to do both, which is hard when they're grumpy and sleepy, poor babies 😂😅 The bigger main room is cheaper and there are more variety in sizes, but there is a similar issue where the pigs gravitate toward certain customers... pig whisperers 🐷 The staff are very kind, please be patient with them while they work to organize your group and get you in. Photos and videos are allowed but I found out that being on the phone (was FaceTiming my mom to show her the interaction) is not allowed, so be mindful of that. Once we finished we received free post cards with different pictures of the piggies to take home! Overall great experience, worth the price.

We visited with the kids and had a great time—such a fun and unique experience! The piglets were adorable, friendly, and well cared for. The staff was welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed. A perfect stop for animal lovers looking for something different in Tokyo.

A lot of the other animal cafes were fully booked so we were fortunate to be able to make a reservation at Mipig. A friend had told me about this place and the pictures were just so cute. The little piggies were even cuter in person. They loved interacting with people and would just make themselves comfortable on you lap. If the staff noticed someone not getting much attention from any of the little guys, they would bring one to you so you don't miss out on any of the Fun. Definitely a unique and memorable experience. My 6year old claims that visiting Mipig was the best part of our trip to Japan. We love these mini pigs and would recommend a visit to Mipig Cafe!

I was really excited to visit this Pig Café in Harajuku, hoping for a fun and unique experience interacting with adorable miniature pigs. The concept is great, and the pigs themselves are undeniably cute and well cared for. However, I found myself unable to stay for more than 10 to 12 minutes due to the overwhelmingly strong animal smell. I expected some natural farm-like scent, but this was much more intense than I anticipated. Even with ventilation, the odor was overpowering, making it difficult to relax and enjoy the experience. If you have a sensitive nose, you might struggle with this, as I did. That being said, the staff was friendly, and the pigs were playful and affectionate. If you’re someone who isn’t bothered by strong smells, you’ll probably enjoy it more. But for me, the scent made it impossible to stay long enough to fully appreciate the visit
