Yes. My first time seeing owls, they were in captivity, at a park in Hokkaido, Japan. They have at least 20 different species including a snowy owl. In Osaka, there is also an "Owl Cafe" that I visited, where patrons can eat and see watch different kinds of owls. This experience was before I became interested in birding, now I think it is sad they are all captured and not free.
The first and only owl I have seen in the wild was an Ural Owl, actually a few. They were breathtaking. I couldn't stop taking pictures.
