This building with neoclassic-influenced design dates back from the Taisho period and is home to around 5,000 “maneki-neko” beckoning cats, making it Japan’s largest museum of these interesting statues.
A “maneki-neko” is a porcelain cat figurine holding one paw aloft to invite people; some people believe that the right paw in the air invites money, while the left paw invites customers. You will often see “maneki-neko” dolls in Japanese shopfronts, holding out a wish for more prosperous business.
Come and see for yourself this cute place and spend some time at the café for a break, or even try your hand at painting one for yourself at the painting experience corner.
