I visited Gotokuji Temple, famous as the birthplace of the Maneki-neko cat, about a 10-minute walk from Gotokuji Station on the Odakyu Line. Countless Maneki-neko cats are enshrined within the temple grounds, creating a truly breathtaking sight! It's truly a great photo spot. The temple is also home to the magnificent grave of Ii Naosuke, a Tairo (chief advisor) of the late Edo period, allowing you to feel the footsteps of a notable figure in Japanese history. The lush green grounds have a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. It was a special place where you could experience the cuteness of the Maneki-neko cats and the weight of history at the same time. Access 2-24-7 Gotokuji, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. Approximately 10 minutes' walk from Gotokuji Station on the Odakyu Line. Atmosphere/Amenities - Historical building - Numerous Maneki-neko offering shelves - Quiet, lush grounds Recommendations - Must-see photo spot for the Maneki-neko offerings - Tomb of Ii Naosuke, a late Edo period lord - A temple that exudes both history and charm Visiting Hours 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM / 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM Rating: Very Good #JapanTravelGuide #DomesticTravel #TokyoSightseeing #TokyoTrip #GotokujiTemple #Maneki-neko
