Buddhist monks run a cafe in Tokyo to get the public interested in the religion in a more casual setting. Julie Noce reports.
The first snake cafe in Tokyo is now open, offering its customers the unique experience of enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of beer in the company of a slithery snake. The Tokyo Snake Center has 35 snakes, which are kept inside boxes. Visitors can choose any of them, and the staff will bring the box with the snake to their table. For an additional fee, the reptile lovers can even pet the snake of their choice and allow it to slither over themselves.
