Theme-based cafes are a great success in Japan, and continue to grow in popularity. The idea of 'concept cafes' began in Akihabara, the center of Japanese pop culture, with their renowned 'maid cafes.' They are now found everywhere, and have diversified to cater to everyone's taste; from railway enthusiasts to ninja fans.

Concept cafes aren't just fun places to eat and drink, they can let you engage in exciting activities as well.
