🇯🇵Tokyo's newest check-in spot: Gotoku-ji Temple⛩️ Check-in lucky cat explosion🐱🤑

📖It originated from the fact that the feudal lord "Ii Naoko" was hunting one day and passed by nearby. A cat suddenly waved to him and invited him to enter the temple🐱🎎

Then it suddenly rained heavily, and he thought that the cat had saved him, so he converted the temple into the Ii family's Bodhi Temple. The temple was named after the name of Ii Naoko, "Kyushoinden Gotoku Teneiji", and the "Zhaofu Hall" was set up to display the Maneki Kannon, which is the origin of the Maneki cat in Gotokuji Temple.

The right hand attracts wealth, the left hand attracts blessings. People with careful eyes can tell that this is a lucky cat! 🤑🤡

People who come here to worship and pray will buy a lucky cat to take home and worship it. When their wish is fulfilled, they will bring the original lucky cat back to fulfill their wish, and then buy a bigger one to take home. The lucky cats of various sizes are so cute!

There are 9 types of lucky cats in total, with prices ranging from 300 yen to 7,000 yen.
It’s priced at 1 yen. Maybe it’s too popular. Each size can only be purchased one per person. There are also amulets and prayer ema available for purchase! ✍️
