A Trip Back in Time to the Good Old Days of Japan

Inside, you’ll find thousands of retro items densely displayed, including classic enamel signs, old cigarette vending machines, and everyday household goods from the Showa era.

Building No. 2 features exhibits of retro stationery and toys, and also has a shop selling dagashi.
It’s a place that transcends generations, offering a fun experience for young people who find the Showa style refreshingly new, and for older visitors who feel a deep sense of nostalgia.
