One thing Rilakkuma fans look forward to most is the themed pop up cafes which open occasionally across Japan.

The traditional Japanese themed Rilakkuma Cafe, “Rilakkuma Sabo (りらっくま茶房)” opened in Kyoto’s Arashiyama area a couple of years go, featuring exclusive menu inspired by Rilakkuma and regional products. Soon after opening, the Rilakkuma cafe in Kyoto has been one of the hottest places to visit in town.

In 2019 spring, the Japanese style Rilakkuma cafe, Rilakkuma Sabo opened its second branch at another top visited tourist spot in Japan, Miyajima Island in Hiroshima Prefecture. The cafe is situated situated near the ferry port and only a few steps away from Itsukushima Shrine which is famous for the floating red torii gate. Miyajima Rilakkuma Sabo is a “permanent” cafe.
The food and drink menu at Rilakkuma Sabo Miyajima Store is very unique and original, using local specialties from Hiroshima Prefecture such as salt-water eels (Anago in Japanese), oysters and citrus, featuring regional motif such as the red torii gate and maple leaves, and collaborating with super cute Rilakkuma and friends motif.
Along with delicious food and drinks, there are a wide variety of Rilakkuma products sold at the cafe shop. There are numbers of limited products which you can only purchase at this branch! It’s a perfect place to shop souvenir for Rilakkuma fans. Also there are some take-away snacks such as the famous maple-shaped cake from Hiroshima Prefecture, Momiji Manju the cute Rilakkuma motif.
