When talking about the hometown of the lucky cat, how can we not think of Gotokuji Temple? This quiet ancient temple in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, not only has a long history, but is also the birthplace of the lucky cat culture.
As soon as you step into Gotokuji Temple, it feels like you have entered another world. The atmosphere in the temple is quiet and peaceful, with cute lucky cats dotted everywhere, especially the "Lucky Cat Wall", where densely packed white kittens are neatly arranged, as if to greet every visiting guest. These little lucky cats symbolize blessing and good luck, and each one tells people's good wishes.
In addition, the garden design of the temple is also quite elegant, presenting different scenery with the change of seasons: cherry blossoms in spring and red leaves in autumn. Whether taking a walk or sitting in meditation, you can feel a sense of inner peace and relaxation.
If you are interested in the culture of lucky cats and like quiet places, Gotokuji Temple is definitely a place not to be missed. Why not take a lucky cat home after the event to add some luck to your life!
