Lame Art CafeNEW!

Fuzzy Navel – Conton Candy
A café where you can relax and make something yourself like this seems fulfilling and likely popular.
This is a glitter art café: you write your name with a glue stick, then sprinkle your favorite glitter over it to make your name appear.
It’s fun and, better yet, quick to make—that’s part of the charm.
We want lots of customers to experience it.
You can leave your finished piece there to be displayed, or take it home and put it in a frame.
Give it a try!
Creepy CafeNEW!
@obaken_honancho A café that needs an exorcism even though it’s a café!? In Honancho, there’s a slightly unusual café where all kinds of cursed objects are on display and you can listen to sound-based horror! Try the drinks and food here! This is the hot spot right now! In Honancho you can also enjoy a haunted house and escape games!! Spend a whole day immersed in horror! Search for “Obaken” 🔍✨️Haunted House#CreepyGhostTranslationTokyo playgroundsHorror EventtranslationImmersive experience#Summer Vacationpuzzle-solving game
♬ Original Song – Haunted House “Obaken” – Haunted House “Obaken”
How about a creepy café filled with cursed objects? A haunted house is fun, but if the prep and makeup sound like too much work, a café like this is perfect—you can create an eerie atmosphere just by placing subtle cursed items or dolls that look like they might be hiding something.
The menu can be the usual café fare, but if you want to get creative, drinks the color of blood or dishes with ketchup that feel Halloween-esque could be great options.
If you’re interested in running a café with a twist, give it a try.
Wagashi Experience CafeNEW!
Why not try opening a wagashi café where people can make nerikiri, one of the easier types of wagashi to prepare? Have a wagashi shop provide the nerikiri ingredients.
Guests can choose their preferred ingredients and shape them into forms like chestnuts or persimmons.
This process is a lot of fun, isn’t it? Once they’re finished, enjoy them with tea.
It might be even nicer if guests can choose from several kinds of tea.
If preparation is too much work, bottled tea is perfectly fine.
Give it a try!
Space CafeNEW!
@24xmio ⭐️ Planetarium Café 🪐 We made our culture festival a café with a planetarium theme 𓂃⟡.· It was super cute and the best ✩.*˚#ljkCultural FestivalPlanetarium#07cafe
♬ Original Song – sumire – Suu
How about a café that feels like you’re watching a planetarium? Imagine a darkened classroom with lots of twinkling lights scattered across the ceiling like stars, and star-shaped balloons floating around.
The staff would look cute in silver, space-themed outfits, and if you created original non-alcoholic cocktails named after stars, people would want to try all kinds of flavors.
It’s a space café that lets you journey straight from the bright, dazzling vibe of the school festival into the world of night—highly recommended.
Aquarium CafeNEW!
@iam_yui_o0 It feels like being under the sea—an aquarium café where you can enjoy time with jellyfish 🪼 From any seat, you can hang out with projection-mapped jellyfish and fish, and enjoy a café experience in a dreamy space 🌟 They also have the super-popular Dubai Cheongdeok cookies, available in three flavors: plain, matcha, and strawberry 🤍 They were so chewy and packed with Dubai chocolate—absolutely delicious 🍫 They also have acai bowls and croffles with stunning visuals, and it was so lovely I could’ve stayed for hours 😮💨 It’s an ultra-cute café, so everyone should go check it out! ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ・Daisy.

Junior High School Saint Diary First Love – Sachi
How about an aquarium-themed café that uses tablets to create an underwater atmosphere? You could place tablets at each table and play continuous videos of jellyfish and tropical fish, and enhance the mood with lighting and decorations that make guests feel as if they’re deep under the sea.
While you’re at it, it might be lovely to design the menu to evoke the ocean as well.
Relaxing in the embrace of Mother Ocean can be so soothing that people might not even want to leave.
Give it a try.
cross-dressing butler cafeNEW!
@lily_warlock Takase and Yuta will announce the cultural festival event from 9/16 to 9/19 ✨📢# Cross-dressing (male attire) cafeCross-dressing as a man#lilywarlockNagoyaOsu#Osu concept cafe#Lily Warlock#YareYareButler#잘자요아가씨translationTakaseButlerButler cafe#goodnightojosama#yareyare
♬ 잘자요 아가씨 (Prod. 과나) – TANAKA & 닛몰캐쉬
At school festivals, having male students cross-dress is a tried-and-true choice, but female-to-male cosplay is also pretty great.
It’s really fun to see classmates looking different from usual.
It might be nice to change their names to something more masculine and wear name tags, too.
If they show up in a short-haired wig, some might end up with more fans than expected because they look surprisingly cool.
Setting up a photo spot and offering a two-shot photo service with the staff would probably get everyone hyped.
Ninja CafeNEW!
When you think of a ninja-themed shop, you might assume it’s popular with overseas visitors, but it’s actually a lot of fun to do at a school festival too.
First, the staff dress as ninjas and speak in ninja lingo, and customers are addressed as “Lord” and “Princess.” That alone is quite entertaining, but they’ll also make a “Nin-Nin Cocktail” together with everyone, break a wish-granting board for you, and let you play with shuriken—pretty fascinating stuff.
A ninja cafe where you can feel like you’ve wandered into another world is highly recommended.
Definitely give it a try.
