Gotokuji Temple / Maneki Neko - Tokyo - 豪徳寺 - 4K Ultra HD
Hello Kitty may not actually be the most famous Japanese cat after all! It all started in 1697 according to the legend! At that time, before the Gotokuji Temple was what it is now, a poor and lonely priest was living alone with his cat. One day, during a heavy storm a rich nobleman was stranded in a heavy rainstorm and took refuge under a nearby tree. Once settled the nobleman saw the priest’s cat at the Temple’s entrance signaling him to enter. Surprised, the nobleman followed the cat and as soon as he moved toward the cat the tree was struck by lightning. Believing that the cat had saved his life the nobleman decided to become the temple’s benefactor and soon the temple became prosperous.
As you must have guessed by now, the Maneki Neko are charms for good luck and prosperity not only in Japan but all across Asia and especially in China.
Just for this story alone, Gotokuji Temple is a “must see” when visiting Tokyo. Smaller than most famous temples around Tokyo, Gotokuji is unique for its design. It’s three-storied pagoda and Kyoto-like atmosphere give even more weight to this beautiful story of the Priest’s cat and the nobleman.

Confidence pour confidence, Hello Kitty n’est probablement pas le chat japonais le plus célèbre ! Il était une fois, en 1697 d’après la légende, juste avant que le temple Gotokuji ne devienne tel que nous le connaissons de nos jours, un pauvre prêtre vivait seul avec son chat. Un jour de tempête, un riche noble fut surpris par une pluie intense et trouva refuge sous le premier arbre qu’il vit. Aussitôt abrité, le noble vit le chat du prêtre au pas de la porte du temple, l’invitant à entrer. Surpris, le noble suivit le chat et dès qu’il l’eut rejoint, l’arbre fut frappé par un éclair. Convaincu qu’il devait sa vie sauve au chat, le noble décida alors de devenir le bienfaiteur du temple, et peu de temps après, le temple connaissait la prospérité.
Vous l’aurez compris, les Maneki Neko sont le symbole de la chance et de la prospérité non seulement au Japon, mais dans toute l’Asie, surtout en Chine.
Et c’est pour cette petite histoire seulement que le temple Gotokuji est un endroit à visiter absolument quand vous êtes à Tokyo. Certes plus petit que les autres temples de la ville, Gotokuji est unique pour son architecture. Sa pagode racontant trois histoires, et son ambiance semblable à Kyoto donnent davantage de poids à cette belle légende du chat et du noble.

Tap into Japan #2: Walking tour of Gotokuji and Setagaya Hachiman
Walking tour of Gotokuji Temple and Setagaya Hachiman in Setagaya ward
Gotokuji Temple in Tokyo: Home of the Maneki Neko
Gotokuji Temple is perhaps one of the most unique temples hidden in the Setagaya Ward of Tokyo. In addition to the beautiful gardens, traditional Japanese architecture and a historical cemetary, there is a small section of the temple where you will find many (and I do mean MANY) Maneki Neki which are little statues of white cats with a raised, beckoning paw. Perhaps you have seen these cats in Japanese homes or businesses. They symbolize good luck and the hope for good fortune. Gotokuji Temple is said to be the birthplace of the Maneki Neko and the sight of all the statues placed in the temple area is quite a sight to behold. I would recommend going in Autumn as the Autumn foliage is breathtaking.
Here is the official website (click the upper corner for the English).
You can search for Gotokuji Temple and get more detailed information as well as directions on how to get there. It is about a 10 minute walk from Gotokuji station on the Odakyu Line or a 5 minute walk from Miyanosaka station on the Tokyu Setagaya LIne.

1000 cats temple Gotoku-ji Maneki-Neko Tokyo Japan gopro film
A five-minute walk from Miyanosaka Station on the Tokyu Setagaya Line, Gotokuji Temple in Tokyo’s Setagaya Ward offers a fun sight for visitors.
By a path leading to the main temple sit a huge number of bright white cat figures placed around a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy. Many tourists visit just to take photos.
These are maneki neko, beckoning cats, figures that are believed to bring good luck and are said to have originated at the temple.
Legend has it that during the Edo Period, a chief priest at the temple, had a cat he cared for very much. One day, feudal lord Ii Naotaka passed by with his servants and saw the cat, which appeared to be waving at him to come inside.
Curious, they entered and were greeted by the priest. As the priest served them tea and offered a sermon, a thunderstorm broke outside.
Grateful to the cat and the priest, Ii later donated rice crops and land to the then-poor temple, elevating it to prosperity. The temple became a designated cemetery for the Ii family, whose members served in central roles in the Tokugawa shogunate.
Today, the cats are a symbol of the area. Many maneki neko goods are available in local shops, and feline figures dotted around the neighborhood make it a lovely place to walk.

JAPAN VLOG #2: Mt. Fuji, Gotokuji Cat Temple, and Ikebukuro | eumcouple
Yaaaay! Finally, Part 2! ???? In this vlog, we visited 3 Mt. Fuji viewing spots and we did this through a KKDay bus tour. We had a lot of fun and I actually cried when we reached the last stop which was Lake Kawaguchiko. I've only ever heard about it and saw it through an anime (Yurucamp), so it felt so surreal to be actually there. That day is easily one of my favourite memories from Japan. ☺️????
The next day, we went to Setagaya to Gotokuji Temple and see the thousands(?) of Maneki Neko guarding the beautiful shrine. We tried some ramen for lunch, and it's actually a funny story because when we were ready to pay, we handed the cashier our credit card and they shook their heads and told us it was cash only. So I had to leave Mark and ran around the streets looking for an ATM lol. NTS: ALWAYS carry cash. Anyway, the last part of this video is in Ikebukuro where we accidentally stumbled across a cosplay event/anime convention. I saw a bunch of my fave characters and literally lost my mind. ????
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Gotokuji - Ein Tempel voller Katzen [ENG Sub]
Heute wird es wieder tierisch, denn ich nehme euch zum Gotokuji mit.
Dieser Tempel befindet sich in Setagaya. Man erreicht ihn am einfachsten von Shinjuku aus, indem man die Odakyu Line nimmt und an der Gotokuji Station aussteigt. Die Fahrt dahin dauert ungefähr um die 30 Minuten rum. Der Tempel selbst ist ungefähr um die 10 Minuten zu Fuß von der Station entfernt.
Aber was genau ist denn so besonders an diesem Tempel?
Dieser Tempel ist der Geburtsort der Maneki-Neko. Ein sehr belieber Glücksbringer und im Deutschen eher unter dem Namen „Winkekatze“ bekannt.

Gotokuji Temple In Tokyo Filled With Thousands Of Lucky Cats
SUBSCRIBE NOW:
A temple in Japan with thousands of lucky cat figurines has tourists paw-ing in for the purr-fect social media snaps. Tokyo’s Gotokuji temple has thousands of maneki neko, or beckoning cats, on its grounds with the figures believed to bring good luck and said to have originated at the temple. The white cats have one paw raised - a lifted left paw inviting success in business, while a raised right for protection at home - and are stacked and scattered all around the temple. French tourist Anne Labaye filmed her visit to the temple, which is located near Gotokuji Station, a 15-minute train ride from Tokyo's Shinjuku Station.
