Happy Easter! Shall we celebrate by visiting the Tokyo Bunny Cafe?

I took my friends Duff McKagan, Susan Holmes-McKagan and their daughters on a shopping tour of Harajuku. Keep reading for a zillion cute photos.

Perhaps you recall the J Valentine costume photoshoot I did with Josie Stevens. She introduced me to Susan, her E! Network “Married to Rock” co-star, and we immediately bonded over Japanese cute/pop culture. A former top model, Susan is CEO and designer of Holmes Swimwear, and writes for Huffington Post.

Her husband, Duff McKagan, was touring Tokyo with his band Loaded. You may also know Duff as the bassist of Guns n’ Roses and Velvet Revolver.

After the concert, Duff and Susan spent the next few days exploring Tokyo with their girls, Grace and Mae. I took them on a tour of my favorite Harajuku shops.

SBY Happy Room is a favorite of Josie’s as well.

An entire nook is devoted to fake eyelashes, including Dolly Wink, Kyaru Pamyu Pamyu, and gyaru brands.

SBY is a popular store for Harajuku girls.

It’s perfect for picking up cute little gifts as souvenirs.

I took them down Takeshita-doori. We popped into this cute characters boutique, Tama Depa.

We also stopped to try candies, boba, and my favorite yuzu (Japanese citrus) drink.

Harajuku Shoes is a must-visit for Goth Punk Rocker boots.

Susan got a pair of Yosuke boots, similar to the ones I’m wearing below.

Since we were visiting a bunny cafe, I wore an Alice in Wonderland inspired outfit:
Girly lace dress: Liz Lisa x My Melody collection
White rabbit stopwatch purse: Amavel, in Lumine Shinjuku
Studded black boots: Yosuke, from Shibuya 109
White fuzzy bunny-eared jacket: Peace Now, from Closet Child (sad the brand is gone…)

Near the end of Takeshita doori, we went into the Pink Latte store.

There’s a pink jet inside, cockpit and all.

The Meiji-doori department store, Laforet, had a Nico Panda pop-up (fashion line by Lady Gaga’s stylist, Nicola Formichetti).

Remember, the best stores in Laforet are in the basement! Don’t miss Swimmer, for kitsch-kawaii.

Duff McKagan met us outside Laforet. The Jin Sinn (famous rock store) staff recognized him, and gave him a leather jacket with a leopard-print collar.

Onward, to the Harajuku bunny cafe Raagf. Address: 3F, 6-14-15 Jingu-mae, Shibuya.

The rabbit cafe is hard to find, as it’s in a tiny side-street. Look for the nearby Toni & Guy, and Etoile nail art salon.

Bunny cafes are similar to Japanese cat cafes: customers enjoy drinks while playing with cute little bunnies. Isn’t the poop logo ridiculous?

So many different rabbits to hug. For more about bizarre Japanese cafes, check out my Tokyo theme restaurants book.

I loved spending the day with this sweet family. If you too are interested in a tour, contact my La Carmina & the Pirates company.

    Hearing about a bunny cafe made me so excited! I’m going to have to check it out the next time I’m in Tokyo (which may not be until a couple of years but one day…). I was also really surprised to see Duff on your blog. It’s cool that you’re hanging out with a rock legend and his family.
