LILIAN CUCU at Akihabara, Tokyo

Ice-country snow-fairy maid cafe near Suehirocho, open from morning with dance shows and cheki upstairs.

LILIAN CUCU is the second branch of Akihabara snow-country maid cafe Lilian Plian, designed around a glass jewelry box theme that the team calls a snow fairies dwelling. The first floor operates as a free-entry cafe space serving the brand popular Aurora Tea and other signature drinks, with takeaway available, while the second floor houses amusement seating where guests can enjoy dance shows, cheki photo sessions and a more full-on maid cafe experience.\n\nThe cafe opens as early as eight in the morning, which is rare for a concept cafe, making it a handy spot for an early start in Electric Town. Snow fairies in costume welcome Masters and Ladies with the usual omurice, parfaits and colourful drinks, plus chargeable cheki and small games. Pricing is transparent, with a per-hour table charge plus one drink order per hour.\n\nWhether you are a regular maid cafe visitor or just curious for the first time, the friendly fairies of LILIAN CUCU will make sure your visit feels warm even on the coldest day. Step off Chuo Street, push open the glass door and let yourself be looked after.
