Gotokuji Temple
Gotokuji Temple is a Zen temple in Setagaya, Osaka. The temple grounds are lined with numerous beckoning cat statues, a very impressive sight, and there is a reason for this.
Legend has it that the samurai who built the temple was once invited by a cat to enter the temple building, where he was spared from thunderclouds, and the cat was believed to invite people and good fortune.
The cat is not only cute but also brings good luck. Purchase a cat statue with your guide!
