Looking back on my last solo trip to Japan, if I had to name a few places that left an especially deep impression on me, Kameari would definitely be one of them.
The reason is simple: Kankichi Ryotsu from KochiKame!
Even though it’s just an anime and he’s a fictional character, I’ve always really liked Ryo-san. I like his genuine nature, his ambition, and his mind that is always full of imaginative ideas—quick, flexible, and never playing by the rules. Although he often causes trouble and leaves people unsure whether to laugh or cry, his straightforward and energetic personality somehow makes him feel especially relatable.
So when I learned before my trip that a KochiKame museum had recently opened in Kameari, it naturally caught my interest. Of course I had to visit in person and thoroughly explore Ryo-san’s world.
It wasn’t until I stepped inside the museum that I realized how much care had gone into its design. Many familiar scenes from the anime have been recreated one by one, making it feel as if you’ve truly entered the world of KochiKame.
As I walked around, I kept feeling that Ryo-san might pop out from a corner at any moment. I could almost hear the chief shouting furiously, and I even found myself hoping to see Reiko around the next corner. The characters and scenes that had once existed only on a TV screen suddenly felt so close. It was truly a fascinating feeling.
To me, this museum is more than just a place displaying an anime series. It feels more like a space where you can step back into familiar memories. I believe anyone who likes KochiKame should come and see it in person.
And Kameari’s charm isn’t limited to the museum. Once you step outside, you’ll find little touches related to Ryo-san and the series throughout the streets. Slow down and wander through this lively neighborhood, and you’ll always discover some unexpected surprises along the way.
It turns out that some places stay with us not because of magnificent scenery or famous attractions, but because they are home to a character we’ve loved for a long time—someone who never truly existed, yet has always felt familiar...
