Hang with hedgehogs at Tokyo's Chiku Chiku Café

TOKYO -- You've heard of cat cafés and puppy cafés but have you ever been to a hedgehog café?

In the heart of Tokyo, Japan's Shibuya District is Chiku Chiku Café, home to thirty hedgehogs ready for a visit.

"Our café owner, he loves hedgehogs. He started this business because he wanted to spread awareness of (the) cuteness of hedgehogs," said Mika Inomata, who works at Chiku Chiku Cafe.

Visitors to Chiku Chiku can spend up to thirty minutes with a hedgehog, petting them gently, feeding them and of course, taking photos. There are specific rules for a visit, do not touch their spines (a hedgehog spine is very sensitive), don't put your finger up to the hedgehog's mouth and if you're going to take a photo of these cute little creatures, do not use the flash.

Actor Brendan Fraser visited Chiku Chiku Café while filming "Rental Family" in Japan and couldn't wait to tell his co-star Shannon Gorman about it.

"Oh yeah there's a hedgehog café! They are cute and they eat a lot of meal bugs and they give you a glove and they fall asleep in your hands, but gosh they're cute," he explained, to which Gorman replied, "I wanna go!"

"We literally walked by, we just stumbled across it," said Tyson Sourivoug, who was visiting Tokyo from Australia.

"(I) loved the feel and they're cute," added Ryan Sharkey, also from Australia.

Both said they'd absolutely, 100 percent recommend the experience to others.

"It's something you have to do when you come to Shibuya," said Sourivoug.

"Especially if you love animals too," added Sharkey.
