This one, called &#8220;Howl&#8217;s Cafe &#038; Shop: Life Style with Dog,&#8221; is a mere stone&#8217;s throw from our apartment in Nishi-Waseda (which is in Shinjuku-Ku which is in Tokyo). These kinds of places (and associated Engrish) will be pass\u00e9 for those living in Japan but still may be of interest to those abroad. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/P1040686trim.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/P1040686trim-800x799.jpg\" alt=\"howl&#039;s cafe &amp; shop life style with dog\" title=\"howl&#039;s cafe &amp; shop life style with dog\" width=\"800\" height=\"799\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/P1040686trim-800x799.jpg 800w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/P1040686trim-249x249.jpg 249w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/P1040686trim.jpg 901w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As we were heading home the other night this Japanese girl and her dog were enjoying their ice coffee in this doggie cafe. She jumped at the chance of a photo op and beckoned my children to join her, passing her dog off to my son. Her dog immediately started to lick my son&#8217;s face (I have a picture of that too that I may post someday). <\/p>\n<p>It is good to be considered a cute dog in this land of cuteness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a foreigner first visits Japan they will undoubtedly be surprised by the differences.
