I spent a fun-filled afternoon at **Gotokuji Temple** in Tokyo. Famous for its beckoning cats, the temple’s surroundings are elegant, with seasonal flowers blooming in succession, especially the pink azaleas that lift your spirits.
I visited the temple’s beckoning cat display, where these adorable cats come in various designs. There are not only traditional white beckoning cats but also many creative styles that I couldn’t resist photographing. The beckoning cat I held was not only cute but also symbolizes good luck and prosperity.
Here, I also enjoyed some local snacks, sharing the joy with friends. Gotokuji Temple is not only a great place to pray for good fortune but also an excellent spot to appreciate Japanese culture and art. Every visit makes me love this charming place even more, and I look forward to exploring more wonders next time!
