Maid Café
メイド喫茶
Dive into a surreal anime-themed world at a traditional Maid Cafe, where super cute meets old-school French maid culture. See for yourself what Japan's kawaii charm and unique hospitality are about.
Japan’s pop culture is known worldwide and has conquered every corner of the globe. Japan is an otaku paradise—a dream destination for manga and anime fans, card and board game enthusiasts, curious students, and anyone eager to explore its unique culture. We are aware that there are too many sub-cultures and otaku genres in Japan, therefore we arranged a selection of different events and workshops for you to indulge in. Please note, this module is not entirely themed for Anime & Manga topics only. The module aims to cover a variety of genres by encouraging students to engage in fun activities. A few examples of what is waiting for you can be seen below.

We’ve got plenty of fun activities and cultural courses for you to choose from. Start customizing your study package.
CREATE YOUR PACKAGEUnfortunately not. The activities are scheduled on a monthly basis and cannot be changed.
Due to class schedules and limited availability for some activities, the dates and times are fixed in advance.
You’ll have 2–3 activities per week. These can be completed in a single session and will total the equivalent of 6 regular lessons.
Yes, but due to numbers of participants and seasonal events, the schedule can only be confirmed about 1 month before your classes take place. Therefore it is impossible to let you know in advance what activities will take place during your stay.
When it comes to pop culture, we strive to showcase the wide variety of exciting events Japan has to offer. While anime and manga are part of the experience, they aren't featured every week. So if you're exclusively interested in these topics, this module might not be the best fit for you.
Transportation yes but not meals, except for cooking workshops.
As mentioned above, activity schedules are fixed by month, hence it is not possible. However, activities differ per school location, which means you can take this module again when going to another Meiji campus.
Under normal circumstances, only fully enrolled Meiji students are allowed to participate in Meiji Academy's cultural activities. However, we have a special clause, where we allow Meiji students to bring their friends if a spot is available. Your friend would still have to pay the regular module fee as everybody else.
