Lived in Tokyo and Osaka, about a year each. I LOVE Japan and would probably live there again. The BEST would be to live in Hawaii in the winter, Yosemite in the Summer, and spend Fall & Spring in Japan. 🙂

I lived in Japan for 3 years, but I never had the privilege of seeing a Maid Cafe.

@Wilson: Definitely, on your next visit to Japan, be sure to drop in on a maid cafe. Particularly if you go to a maid cafe outside of Tokyo, we’ll be interested to hear some details about your experience.

@Travis: In a way, yes. Japan, very organized, but like anywhere in the world, it has its own history, its own culture. We are always thankful for this.

Was the maid cafe experience worth the money? For our money, not especially. In other words, that’s the advice we’re going to give most people. However, if you are curious, then it might be worth it to you to see and experience it for yourself. From that standpoint, we’re glad we took the opportunity to visit a maid cafe. You never know until you go!

What a wild world Japan is!? It sounds like you had a really great time, and an extremely unique and incredible experience!

I was curious if you felt like your experience was worth the money. You mention a fair amount of erroneous charges: was that annoying or still felt like it was worth it?

This story seems like it’s right out of a fantasy novel!

Thanks for the post!

I can totally relate to some of your experiences. While I was at Osaka, I stayed with Frasers apartment hotels located smack in the middle of Nankai (great location, I must add), similar to the Akihabara district in Tokyo. There were a couple of cafes in my area, sounding exactly as you described but I never had the time (or the courage) to go in. I am stepping into one the moment I return to Japan again!

@Simon: No, that’s just what they do at Japanese Maid Cafes. It’s all part of the act and charm.

I’m always amazed at what the Japanese will come up with. Thanks for another great article to clip for our trip reference file!
