The cute uniforms would definitely get me excited! I can’t wait to experience the atmosphere for myself.
A Unique Space-Themed Concept Café
The new maid café and bar “Candy Planet” has finally opened to brighten up Shinjuku’s nightlife! Operating daily from late night to early morning, it’s the only concept café of its kind in the Kabukicho area. The brightly lit interior offers an intimate space with just seven counter seats, making it an ideal spot for first-timers and cosplay enthusiasts alike.
“Candy Planet” is designed around a space theme, featuring futuristic and stylish interiors. The maids’ original uniforms with vibrant red ribbons have been revamped to shine under the bright lighting. Combining a classic charm with a pop aesthetic, these uniforms are sure to catch your eye the moment you walk in.
Staffed by Current and Aspiring Idols
The main draw of this café is the close interaction with its lively and diverse staff. Many of the maids are current idols or trainees, with at least three staff members present every evening. The setup, which allows customers to converse directly with the maids across the counter, makes for a relaxed and engaging experience, even for first-time visitors. The staff’s professionalism and warmth leave a lasting impression.
“Candy Planet” also offers an all-you-can-drink system with clear pricing, making it easy to enjoy. With a wide range of drinks available, including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, it caters to everyone. A perfect spot for solo visits or a casual late-night hangout, the café has quickly gained popularity.
Great for First-Time Maid Café Visitors
If you love cosplay or anime but have never visited a maid café before, “Candy Planet” is the perfect place to start. Its bright, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff create a space where even beginners can feel at ease.
