Inspired by an Edo-period tale of mischievous cats dancing on their hind legs by moonlight, Odoriba Station transforms a standard transit hub into a charming feline tribute. Commuters and curious travelers can spot silhouettes of frolicking cats on staircase landings, glowing cat eyes set into the walls, and paw prints scattered across the tiles. Outside one of the exits stands an authentic stone stele dating back to 1737, erected to honor the spirits of the legendary felines. It makes for a delightfully quirky, photogenic pitstop for cat lovers and folklore enthusiasts alike.
