Learning self-defense and practicing together
This campaign is an initiative where local facilities and businesses collaborate with the police to prevent crimes against women and raise crime prevention awareness.
On the day, under the guidance of officers from Manseibashi Police Station, participants conducted a self-defense workshop, distributed wet tissues with crime prevention messages, and raised public awareness about crimes targeting women. Together with the community, they promoted a shared mindset of crime prevention.
Participants of the 'Women's Crime Prevention Workshop'
First, Manseibashi Police Station Chief Toyoda Noriaki explained the current situation regarding crimes against women such as voyeurism and groping—including common locations and times—and shared key crime prevention tips.
The Chief emphasized practical measures such as, 'Simply being aware of your surroundings and occasionally looking back, especially on escalators or stairs, can deter potential offenders.' In response, the At Home Cafe maids expressed their determination, stating, 'We want to immediately apply what we've learned in our daily lives.'

Next, the 'Self-Defense Workshop' taught techniques to break free even when grabbed forcefully by the arm. Chia-kyun, a Premium Maid at At Home Cafe, said, 'No special strength or athletic ability is required—just knowing the right techniques makes it easy for anyone. I want to share this knowledge widely with fellow maids who couldn’t attend and with our female guests.'
Police officers from Manseibashi Police Station stressed, 'Above all, the most important thing is to escape. Do not try to confront or detain the attacker. Prioritize your personal safety first.'

Finally, a street outreach campaign was held at Akihabara Station's Electric Town exit to raise awareness and eliminate groping incidents. Participants distributed wet tissues embedded with QR codes that link to Keishicho's crime prevention app, 'Digipolis.' The app is a user-friendly safety tool featuring a 'groping deterrent function' that allows users to alert those nearby via screen display or audio. The participating maids had already downloaded the app through previous initiatives and actively promoted its use to their peers and station visitors, preparing for emergencies and encouraging wider adoption.
As a maid cafe brand primarily based in Akihabara, At Home Cafe welcomes numerous customers from both Japan and abroad.
Beyond providing entertaining experiences, the company considers contributing to a safe and secure community as a vital mission.
Infinitia Inc. will continue to strengthen collaboration with local communities and relevant organizations, fulfilling its corporate social responsibility and contributing to the development of a healthy and attractive Akihabara.
