Everyone who loves Pokemon will want to make it a point to visit the Pokemon Cafe in Tokyo. Just a short stroll from Tokyo Station, this Pokemon-themed restaurant serves delicious food and an unforgettable experience for fans of all ages. Here’s what you need to know before you make your reservation.
1. How to Make a Reservation
The Pokemon Cafe is unlike any other restaurant because you need an entry reservation. Quickly selling out, reservations may take up to a month in advance.
- Visit the Pokemon Cafe’s Website: To begin, visit the Pokemon Cafe’s official website. You can either go to the Tokyo or Osaka locations; this guide will primarily focus on the Tokyo site.
- Make a Reservation: Booking in advance is highly recommended. The restaurant only has a small number of seats, so make your reservation early.
- Accept the Terms and Conditions: Please review the reservation’s terms and conditions and click “Accept” when finished. Here are a few essential details:
-
- Your reservation will be canceled unless you arrive 15 minutes past your reserved time.
- The name on the reservation must match the attendees.
- You’ll receive an email confirmation with a QR code for your timeslot.
- Each visit to the café is limited to 90 minutes, with food service ending 30 minutes before your time ends.
- Reservations are free, but guests must order at least one item, excluding infants.
The cafe’s website will show availability for both locations. If available, select your party size (max of eight people), choose a time, and reserve it.
2. Arriving at the Pokemon Cafe
Get in line at least 15 minutes early on the day of your visit. You can tell you’re at the right place because of the tiny “Pokemon Center” sign out front. Pokemon murals cover the walls and ceiling of the building’s first floor.
Take the elevator to the correct floor, and you’ll find yourself in the foyer. The Pokemon Center is in the back right corner, while the cafe is on the left side of the building.
3. Inside the Pokemon Cafe
Snorlax, Jigglypuff, Pikachu, Lapras, and Eevee inspired the cafe’s section names. You can pick a seat anywhere among these tiers that best suits your tastes.
Ordering Food and Drink
Food and drinks are ordered via a tablet at your table. The menu is diverse, with meals and beverages themed after different Pokemon.
Themed Decor and Special Events
The cafe might be decorated for special events or holidays depending on the time of year. For instance, there may be a Halloween placemat at your table featuring Pokemon in costumes.
4. Special Guest Appearance: Pikachu
If you’re lucky, you’ll see Pikachu enter the cafe and break out into a cute little dance routine.
5. Pokemon Cafe Souvenirs
Before leaving, pick up some souvenirs from the Pokemon Cafe. From plushies to stickers, all items are exclusive to cafe patrons. In addition, for every drink you order, you will receive a themed coaster, making for a lovely memento of your visit.
