A new spot in Hida Takayama where you can enjoy a retro atmosphere like a set of Showa movies, a popular spot in Takayama that is a hot topic on TV.

飛騨高山レトロミュージアム

Lovely experience! Even though we are not Japanese, we travelled back to our childhood  playing with retro toys that were familiar to us and some videogames.

A small but interesting place. Not your typical museum, there are lots of retro things on display with some information, but mostly it is arcade games.

The games upstairs are free, some mini versions of MAPPY, PAC-MAN etc as well as full-size Pokemon Stadium, Mario Kart (you have to press the button REALLY hard to turn) as well as table tennis and table football.

The games downstairs mostly need money, small amounts admittedly just be prepared to have coins if you want to play. Some of the free to play ones have buttons/controllers that don't work.

There is an area at the beginning that appears to be a gift shop, and you can get a newspaper from the day you were born (in Japanese) for ¥400.

There are a couple seats and a place to eat on the ground floor also, but make sure you finish your food before leaving the area.

This would be good for kids, if they recognise the games and have their own little stash of coins to spend.

This is not wheelchair accessible and I would not advise anyone of limited mobility to go as the corridors are narrow and the stairs steep.

Nice museum with a nice loft.
Ample exhibits brings back memories.
However, carried 4 magazines with discount coupon of 100 yen each, but storekeeper didn't remind. So paid for tickets in full.

Bring back memories! Good experiences sharing with my children regarding my childhood fun stuff. Spent the whole afternoon there.

If you're into old retro things from the past then this will be just for you. They have everything from toys, pachinko machines, posters, video games, snacks and many more. It is like being thrown into the past and reliving your childhood fantasies. It's very nostalgic and I like how you can even purchase a Japanese school lunch. The cost is 800 yen per person which is reasonable.
