Токийская мода на котокафе докатилась и до Риги — первое такое кафе, Minka, открылось в Агенскалнсе в 2015 году. В самом же Токио, помимо котиков, в разных кафе можно погладить собаку, кролика, ястреба, сову или попугайчика, козу и даже ящерицу или змею. И вот недавно, пишет The Guardian, открылось еще одно заведение, в котором можно рискнуть и погладить… ежика.
В кафе «Харри» в токийском квартале Роппонги живут тридцать ежей разных пород. За 1000 йен (8 евро) в будни и 1300 йен в выходные (10 евро) можно провести целый час, играя с ежиком и пытаясь его погладить.
Кафе называется "Гарри" от японского названия ежа harinezumi

In a new animal-themed cafe, 20 to 30 hedgehogs of different breeds scrabble and snooze in glass tanks in Tokyo's Roppongi entertainment district. Customers have been queuing to play with the prickly mammals, which have long been sold in Japan as pets. The cafe's name Harry alludes to the Japanese word for hedgehog, harinezumi.

Работник кафе, Мидзуки Мирата, который также работает в кроличьем кафе в том же здании, рассказал, что «Харри» открылось в феврале и с тех пор пользуется большой популярностью. Чтобы погладить ежа, надо сначала постоять в очереди.
Японцы часто держат ежиков в качестве домашних питомцев. У самого знаменитого японского ежа, Марутару, есть свой твиттер, где регулярно появляются новые фотографии. На них Марутару слушает музыку, любуется цветущей сакурой или катается верхом на резиновой уточке.
