Maid Cafe Rules and Etiquette: How to Enjoy a “Moe Moe Kyun” Experience Properly

1. No Physical Contact

Touching maids is strictly prohibited:

• No hugging or hand-holding

• No touching the maid’s outfit or accessories
  Why? Maid cafés are fantasy experiences. Respect boundaries at all times.

2. Photography Etiquette: Always Ask First

Each café has different photo policies:

• You can usually take pictures of your food and drinks

• You may not photograph maids or other customers without permission

• Want a souvenir? Buy a cheki (Polaroid photo) with your maid!

Always ask before taking any photos inside the café.

3. Respect the Maids’ Privacy

Maids are performers. Never ask for:

• Real name

• Contact info

• Social media

• Where they live or work outside the café

Violating this rule could get you banned.

4. No Contact Outside the Café

Maid cafes are roleplay zones. Any attempt to meet or message a maid outside the café is strictly forbidden. The fantasy ends when you leave.

5.  No Inappropriate Language or Behavior

Avoid:

• Sexual jokes or comments

• Flirting

• Harassment or staring

• Disruptive or rude behavior

Maid cafés are respectful, light-hearted spaces.

Additional Tips for a Smooth Visit

• Phone use: Take calls outside; photos are okay if permitted.

• Keep your voice down: Don’t disturb others.

• Stay in your seat: Don’t wander or switch tables without permission.

• Don’t approach other guests: Enjoy your own experience without disturbing others.

Key Takeaway: Politeness is Everything

Japanese hospitality culture values respect and humility. Follow the rules, thank your maid, and enjoy your time gracefully!

Note: Each café may have its own specific rules. Always listen to the staff and follow instructions.
