Rodents generally get bad press - but they are the stars of the show at this quirky cafe in Tokyo.
Cafe Capyba lets guests enjoy a hot beverage alongside two large capybaras named Kohaku and Pisuke.
The rodents, the biggest in the world and native to South America, roam freely around the small establishment, giving customers a chance to view them up close.
According to its website, the 'cosy' cafe is a 'place to provide healing', and visitors are encouraged to pet and take pictures of the furry creatures.
'Take your time to relax while observing their leisurely presence,' the website reads.

Snacks to feed the capybaras are available to purchase inside. Pellets and vegetables cost 330 yen (£1.73/$2.19) each.
Alongside the two rodents, the cafe offers coffee, lattes, tea and soft drinks for visitors to enjoy.
Entrance costs 1,250 yen (£6.55/$8.31) for 30 minutes, with 10-minute extensions available for payments of 330 yen (£1.73/$2.19).
The company does not accept reservations and, due to how popular it's becoming, visitors are advised to arrive well in advance.

Like to sip your coffee with cats, too? One Tokyo-based cafe allows its customers to pet both cats and capybaras while enjoying a brew.
Capy Neko Cafe, 'neko' being the Japanese word for cat, mixes the unique combination of animals - and despite what you might expect, it's a match made in heaven.
According to the cafe's website, its resident capybara, named Ki-Chan, 'moves at his own pace', 'loves to be petted' and 'gets along well with the cats'.
Like many cat cafes in Japan, the felines are all rescue cats looking for their forever homes. The hub takes in cats and works to connect them with foster parents.

The quirky cafe has become extremely popular in Tokyo and requires customers to book in advance.
Each session lasts 50 minutes and costs 2,800 yen (£14.65/$18.58) for adults and 1,500 yen (£7.85/$9.95) for children aged between six and 14.
