Very small but super cute!

There is only one exhibition hall, which looks like a coffee shop. The tickets are 250 yen for adults and 150 yen for children. Inside are some models of the streets and buildings in the era of Yu Zhaohe, a cat doll!

I visited this place years ago and I still think about it and tell people to go here if they are in Ome.

7 minutes on foot from Ome Station on the JR Ome Line. After getting off at the station, head southeast along the old Ome Kaido. It's a little past the Showa Retro Shohin Hakubutsukan. It's a museum for enjoying “artworks with a cat motif.” It's hard to describe well, but it seems different from your typical local history museum. Ome City is a town of cats and retro. For people who like this kind of thing, Ome City really hits, hits, and hits them hard. A critical hit right on the sweet spot, head lopped off, plus it lands on a vital point — a decisive single shot. I'm contrarian, so I'm writing “single shot” instead of “single strike.” There's a limit to entertaining people with images, or with objects, but the people it hits will come on their own to get hit, so it's all good. Retro is justice, no doubt about it. And while we're at it, cats are justice too, because they're cute.
