The Child's Perspective Cafe is located at 2F, Itochu Garden, 2 Chome-3-1 Kita-Aoyama, Minato City, Tokyo 107-0061. Visitors are welcome every Tuesday to Sunday from 09:30 to 17:30 JST.

This unique cafe is managed by the organization Kodomono Shilen Lab, known for organizing interactive exhibitions in Japan. One of their ventures is The Child's Perspective Cafe, which embraces the concept of the Children's Point of View. Here, especially adult visitors can gain a broader perspective on the social life of children. The cafe is thorough in its concept, evident through the use of large-sized props, illustrating how children perceive adults around them.

The newest facility at The Child's Perspective Cafe is the Children's Perspective Lab, offering VR experiments for visitors to witness life-sized adult figures standing at 4 meters tall! Trying out this facility incurs no additional charges, but it's important to note that VR experiments are only available for visitors aged 12 and above.

Beyond the props, The Child's Perspective also provides jumbo-sized food and drinks to enhance the visitor's experience. Check here for the menu and prices.
