Fans of Osamu Akimoto’s classic manga KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops should find plenty to keep them occupied at this compact museum dedicated to the series and its setting, the down-to-earth Kameari district out in Katsushika.
The ground floor of the museum, opening in March 2025, will recreate the neighbourhood police station where Ryo-san and his fellow officers are stationed in the story, while on the upper floors visitors will be invited to follow in the bumbling protagonist’s footprints through a succession of humorous displays.
