- The path leading from Onomichi Art Museum to the Maneki-neko Museum is known as Neko no Hosomichi, or “Cat Alley.” It’s a popular location for getting to know Onomichi’s many painted stone cats. The area is dotted with little stores that have taken over empty houses, some of them resembling snug hideouts. Enjoy your walk and, just for a moment, feel as free as a cat.
