Meet one of the maids at the @home cafe in #Akihabara #Tokyo 🇯🇵 - where you are welcomed ‘home’, you can eat, drink and play games with your maid. I must confess it was a bit different … we turned a curry pink with a magic spell, had a green tea shake with a smiling panda on it and played hungry hippos. Shot last year, seeking out the weird and wonderful and alternative culture (for a European) in Tokyo for @lonelyplanetmags @lonelyplanet with @mandacanning @visitjapanjp (at Tokyo, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtoGnd5A7cD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ic2g80jlza5c
