So you want to hang out with a bunny?
Look no further than Candy Fruits’ Usagi no Yakata (Rabbit Hall) in Tokyo’s bustling Akihabara, a district known as much for its maid cafes now as it was for stores selling electronic gadgetry in days gone by.
“Welcome!” A woman in a pink outfit replete with rabbit ears says.
The staff members are known as “ko-usagi” (rabbit girls), but they are not the main attraction here — the rabbits are.
There is a basic charge of 1,600 yen (NT$600) per hour for admission. Coffee and tea are all-you-can-drink, but there is no food for people on the menu, only “rabbit snacks,” which cost an additional 200 yen and consist of finely chopped carrots, apples and turnip leaves — in other words, rabbit food. Visitors are allowed to play with the rabbits galore in the rabbit hall.

那麼，你想跟兔子玩嗎？
那就鎖定位於熙來攘往的東京秋葉原區的「糖果水果兔之館」。秋葉原區過去以販賣各種電子零組件的商店打響名號，如今則以許多女僕咖啡店聞名。
「歡迎光臨！」一名戴著兔耳朵、一身粉紅色裝束的女子上前迎賓。
這些工作人員被稱為「娘兔」（兔女孩），但她們並不是最大賣點：在這裡，最大賣點是真的兔子。
入場時收取基本消費，一小時一千六百日圓（新台幣六百元），咖啡與茶隨你喝到飽，但菜單上沒有讓人類食用的食物：只有「兔子點心」。點這些兔子點心必須額外再支付兩百日圓，內容包括切好的胡蘿蔔、蘋果與菜頭葉──換句話說，就是兔子食物。客人還獲准與兔子館內大量的兔子們玩耍。
