R.a.g.f Harajuku: Spend A Hoppy Day With Bunnies

I still believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. Don’t even try tell me to be different. – Dolly Parton

Bunnies, what do we know about them? They’re cute, they’re energetic, they breed enthusiastically and most of the time we tie them up with Easter. Historically rabbits are also representatives of fertility, there’s even a goddess thought to represent it, but as for me, Rabbits represent vitality. They move through life one hop at a time, they exhibit life but the most important thing is they know how to rest when it gets tiring. Today I visited one of he most visited Rabbit shops in Japa: Ra.a.g.f Harajuku. Let’s find out why it’s so popular and sought-after as we spend another day in the land of the youth: Harajuku.

KINDS OF BUNNIES YOU WILL MEET

There are different Rabbit breeds you can interact with when you enter the shop, there’s the Cute and fluffy Jersey wooly, there’s the Chinchilla, the Cinnamon, and etc. Each rabbit has a name attached on its cage as well as breed so you may call it by name when you play with it.

The basic course allows you to open all cages and stick your hand in to pet the rabbits, however you are only allowed to bring out 3 of your favorite to play and hop freely in your space. Note that only one rabbit is allowed to roam freely at a time and everything is done with the staff’s assistance.

CONCLUSIONS

Although we only spent a couple of minutes with each of the rabbits you can really tell how each of them has their own unique personalities. Take for example this cute guy here: His name is Loco which aptly translates to “crazy” in Spanish. He loves to run in circles around you feet and ask for snacks. Then there’s the furry Jersey Wooly named Rosea who is quite shy but sweet. Did I also mention that they sell souvenirs there? Their earrings are particularly cute and popular!
