Planning to hit the lovely Kirby Cafe Hakata this month? Well, you might want to reschedule some of your plans.

The cafe’s official Twitter has announced that it will be shortening its operating hours to 11:00 – 22:00 from 12 March – 15 March, with final orders being taken at 21:00 only. While the announcement was sparse on details, this is likely a measure to mitigate the current coronavirus outbreak – similar to what the Nintendo Tokyo store is doing.

Additionally, Kirby Cafe The Store Hakata will also see shorter hours and even stay closed on certain days, as follows:

• 9 March – 11 March: closed for renovations
• 4 March – 15 March: opening hours shortened to 11:00 – 22:00

We’ll report back as we hear more updates on the situation. Stay tuned!
