When someone feels low or lonely, hugs can be a great energy booster. Even science has proven that hugs not only lift the mood but significantly benefit mental health. No matter how advanced machines and technology become, they cannot match up to genuine human emotions and connections. This is why, even in the most developed countries, loneliness is at its peak.
Considering this, a unique cafe in Tokyo is providing comfort and affection along with food and drinks. Here, customers can choose from various ‘love packages’, each with a specified rate.
