I caught a taxi from Okayama Station to the manekineko museum. The place was lovely. All the cats were so cute and there is such a variety, from traditional to wooden to modelling clay... even Lego. And not to forget the upstairs section! The painting experience is in a second building a little way down. You can pick from a small selection of prefabricated pottery sculptures, then Sensei sits you down where you have paints of different colours. I loved producing my own little manekineko now all wrapped up in my luggage for the trip back to New Zealand! The lady running the museum was such a friendly host too. She phoned a taxi to get me to the nearest bus stop back to the station (I was just stopping in Okayama for a bit on my way to Hiroshima) and I had a cup of strawberry tea, then we chatted about all sorts of things, while I waited for it to arrive. Overall a wonderful experience and I'm so happy to have found such a sweet little place. Then again I happen to be obsessed with cats 笑lol笑
