Japanese cafes for singles (3 photos)
It is known that the Japanese are terrible workaholics and literally live on work. This naturally led to the fact that there are a huge number of lonely people: without partners and even without friends. Quite quite.
Of course, this state of affairs had a significant impact on society. And the country began to try to devote time to loners, showing that complete happiness does not always require friends.
Different institutions began to use different methods.
In some, tables were set up exclusively for one person and each place is a separate booth where you can just sit alone with yourself and eat in silence. By the way, there even those who have friends come in - just sit quietly and secluded, without annoying hubbub around, without the cries of children.
In another type of cafe, the staff gives you a friend for a while lunch. Huge human-sized plush toy. Lonely people eat in the company of this toy. It is interesting that such cafes have become very popular not only in Japan but also in other countries.
But it has a couple of downsides. The first is attraction attention, which just loners want to avoid, and the second - the inability to handle toys well after each visitor.
