Reviews
"Pictures won’t do justice to this place. You must be there to really experience it. This is authentic passion for maneki neko to the extreme. I truly admire this passion. She freely share her lifetime collections with anyone who is interested. This is my favorite place in Cincinnati!"
"This is such a cool and unique collection. It’s so much fun to look at all the details. I was able to talk to the collector and hear the stories behind a few of the items. It’s off the beaten path and something unique to do in Cincinnati. Highly recommend!"
"This place was AMAZING!!! I went here with my family and everyone had a great time. There were also hands on actives for younger kids. There were tons of cats in the collection and the owner was very friendly. She explained a lot about the history of the lucky cat and the culture. She could even explain the history of certain pieces of the collection as well. My personal favorite was the disco cat. Everyone should visit here! (=^・ω・^=)"
