Handsome! Handsome! Handsome! A complete list of Akihabara's cross-dressing cafes
A unique swamp formed mainly among female otaku customers: the crossdressing cafe. The pioneer of crossdressing cafes, "QUEEN DOLCE," closed in March 2020, but its followers are still going strong! So, this time we'll be introducing you to a crossdressing cafe in Akihabara.

A men's clothing store affiliated with Ring-O Co., Ltd., which has quickly become the biggest group in Akihabara. Recently, members of Nogizaka46 came to the store for a TV interview. What handsome guys!

A cross-dressing cafe in the Ultimecia chain. I'm concerned about the crazy balance of one-third of the cafe being based on traditional Japanese clothing, but is there really a demand for handsome men in traditional Japanese clothing?

This is a typical boys' bar. The staff are all male, so if you like handsome guys but aren't really into cross-dressing, but aren't too keen on hosts, this might be a place you should visit.
There are also quite a few con cafes where cross-dressing actors work alongside the female cast. If you're interested, try looking for one yourself!
