Magic School Grimoire (Wizard Café)

Step into the magical world of the aptly named Magic School Grimoire (Wizard Café) in Ikebukuro. You’ll learn how to become a wizard alongside a group of magic boys who perform spellbinding tricks, make potions, and so much more.

What’s Magic School Grimoire (Wizard Café)?

Part interactive show, part dining experience, at the Wizard Café you’ll be put to the test by participating in magic lessons. As you help the magic boys cast spells, you’ll learn everything you need to know about being a wizard. If you are accepted (most people are), you get to seal and customize your own acceptance letter.

Despite the show being entirely in Japanese, you don’t need to understand everything to get into the magical spirit. While learning your tricks, fuel up with some delicious cake or Greek yoghurt and tea.
