Introduction
Omaru is the capital of the global steampunk movement, which combines the words "steam" and "punk". "Steam" represents large machines powered by steam, while "punk" represents counterculture. Steampunk works often depict an alternate world parallel to 19th-century Western civilization, incorporating bold imaginations including new energy sources, machinery, materials, transportation, etc. These works show characteristics of the industrial romanticism, Victorian style, and hidden or parallel history.
Inside the steampunk headquarters, works blend elements of future and past, reality and imagination, advanced and outdated technology, and magic and science. If you enjoy this style of games and movies, this place is definitely not to be missed. Opening hours 10:00 - 16:00
