Pets in Tokyo

To discuss the art of successful ownership of pets in Tokyo, we’re joined this week by rabbit handler and cheapo extraordinaire Aaron Baggett. Owning pets in Tokyo can be tricky and expensive, with many landlords not accepting pets and certain logistical issues that Tokyo presents.

Suggested Activity
Learn To Make Traditional Japanese Sweets — Artistic and Delicious
If you've ever wanted to try your hand at making traditional Japanese sweets, this is the perfect class for you. A certified wagashi instructor will teach you the secrets of mochi making, in a cozy, private studio. Finish off the lesson with taste tests and a cup of fresh matcha green tea.

We discuss where to get yourself a healthy pet from an outlet that cares about animal welfare (unlike many of the questionable pet shops in Tokyo, that put profit before happy animals), finding an apartment that allows pets, and more.

We also give a run down of interesting up and coming events, plus the usual round up of top content on Tokyo Cheapo.

And of course we announce our crowdfunding campaign for the Tokyo Cheapo Book – Order The Tokyo Cheapo Book Now!
