At Stranger Pronto, entering the Upside Down is as easy — or difficult — as making a midnight reservation. The "Stranger Things"-themed pop-up café made headlines on CNN and other international sites when it opened in Tokyo over the summer, not far from the famous Shibuya scramble crossing: featured in "Lost in Translation," "Babel," and "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," and used as an establishing shot in many other Hollywood films.
Given that it's based on one of Netflix's most popular shows, but also located in the heart of the world's most densely populated metropolitan area (which is still weathering a pandemic), Stranger Pronto quickly became an exclusive venue, available only by reservation one week in advance. The café only seats 15 or 20 people per hour, and for months, it's been fully booked by 12:01 a.m. every night, leaving many "Stranger Things" fans with the dreaded Fear Of Missing Out.
