An Adorable APEX LEGENDS Nessie Cafe In Tokyo
Apex Legends Cafe in Japan is So Cute 🥰
Despite not being a wildly successful content creator, I still find value in sharing some of the unique experiences I’ve had. My life has taken some interesting turns, and moving to Japan has definitely been one of the more challenging yet rewarding decisions. Here, I’ve been able to dive deep into my interests, and as someone who identifies as an Otaku, I’ve found plenty of outlets for those passions. In Japan, being an Otaku doesn’t just mean you’re into anime or video games—you can be deeply interested in anything, from trains to cars, and I’ve got more than my fair share of hobbies.
One of my obsessions for the past four years has been a game called Apex Legends. It’s become so popular in Japan that it even has its own themed café. Naturally, I had to check it out the Apex Legends Cafe in Japan.
I Just Had To Go
When I arrived, the café had a range of food options, hip-hop music playing, and even a space dedicated to playing Apex Legends. The atmosphere had a cyberpunk vibe, reminding me of the E-District of Suotamo. It was a bit nostalgic—getting excited over a simple burger and lemonade, even though the food was slightly overpriced. But, like most themed cafes, the experience is less about the food and more about the ambiance. The crowd was diverse, and surprisingly, a lot of the patrons were young women, which I didn’t expect.
There was also a small gift shop with various souvenirs. I ended up buying some T-shirts, a hoodie, and a jacket. Lately, whenever I visit exhibits or limited-time museums, I try to pick up something practical like clothing or art books—it helps me justify the expense.
Only a Couple People Bothered to Watch
In an attempt to build my social media presence, I made a video about the visit. It took a couple of hours to shoot, edit, and upload, and while it only got about 35 views, I did receive an organic comment from a stranger. That alone made the effort feel somewhat worthwhile.
A Unique Experience: The Apex Legends Café Visit
Overall, the Apex Legends café visit was an interesting experience. It wasn’t just about the food or the merchandise but about being able to immerse myself in something I’m passionate about. The video didn’t get a lot of attention, but documenting it was still worth it. Sometimes, it’s more about enjoying the moment than the reaction it gets. I’ll keep sharing these experiences, regardless of the outcome. Thanks for checking it out.

Intense Multi-Perspective Apex Edit: Have You Tried the Clap Strat?
In this Intense Multi-Perspective Apex Edit I play with my friends GuzzieStyle and JohnnyOnPoint. It was an insane comeback after having lost Guzzie to a third party. We resurrected him while the two squads fought. Next, we caught a squad rotating getting us back into the game. We coined this strategy the “Clap Strat”.
