The maid café culture in Kyoto, while not as dominant as in Akihabara, Tokyo where it all started, it is a cool way to experience in the city.
Unlike Tokyo, where maid cafés are heavily concentrated in one district and often follow a classic, high-energy moe (cute) theme, Kyoto's maid and concept cafés often blend the traditional maid concept with unique, local, or specialized themes, sometimes operating as a cafe by day and a bar by night, which is known as a "con cafe" (concept café).
