Micro Pig Cafe Experience in Sapporo
Last updated: September 15, 2026
mipig cafe Sapporo builds its pig room like a cottage: pale brick walls, a great stone fireplace and a warm wooden floor scattered with log stools, with the micro pigs pottering about between them. Help yourself to a drink, sit down, and one of them will soon decide your lap is the warmest spot in the room and settle in for a nap. It is up on the third floor of the AEON Mall out at Hassamu, and about the happiest hour going when the Hokkaido weather turns.

Yes, and they are well used to it. Sit low with a blanket over your lap and most of them will clamber up by themselves; staff stay with you throughout so the pigs keep their calm.
Inside AEON Mall Sapporo Hassamu, on the third floor at unit 327 — 12-1-1 Hassamu 8-jo in Nishi-ku, west of central Sapporo. It is open from 10am to 8pm, so it works as an indoor stop on a snowy afternoon.
A few, all for the pigs' sake: guests can visit from their third day in Japan onwards, and not within two days of leaving a country where African swine fever is present or of handling pigs anywhere else. Anyone feeling unwell is asked to come another day, since pigs can catch our bugs too.
