Tokyo's Lucky Cat Temple | Riding the Cat Train | Gotokuji Temple | Tokyo, Japan

Gotokuji Temple, located in the Setagaya ward of Tokyo, is a Buddhist temple that is said to be the birthplace of the maneki-neko, or “luck-inviting cat figurine.” These small statues, which portray a cat sitting up and beckoning with its front paw, have become quite popular all over the world with cat-lovers. Although there are many different kinds of maneki-neko raising either their right or left paws, Gotokuji Temple specializes in the right-pawed version of this good-luck symbol. https://livejapan.com/en/in-tokyo/in-... _______ You may use this link to book your hotels. https://www.agoda.com/affiliate?cid=1...
