This is a funeral home in Nakama City which keeps an adorable “parliament of owls” that provides emotional healing to an increasing number of visitors who hear rumors about the home and come to its café to be with the owls as a form of “animal therapy.” One drink for one hour together with the owls costs an affordable ¥250. The owls report to work every day at a different worksite, so be sure to ask in advance.

Meals
Their menu contains only bitesize, handmade fried gyoza (small Chinese dumplings filled with ground meat and/or vegetables contained in a wrapper of dough) and boiled gyoza, and they can make as many as you can eat. But, be aware that they don’t serve rice or anything else – strictly gyoza. But they don’t mind if you bring in your own rice. You can also take out frozen gyoza, very popular among housewives. Free parking is available at the Showacho Shopping Street, about 15 paces to the side of the shop.
