S	Shruti Tonk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It closes by 16:45 sharp. We couldn’t spend much time but it seemed fun
Z	Zoe N on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It seems like the main temple is under construction right now so I didn’t see as many Maneko Neko, but there were still a few shelves
B	Benson Luu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you love cats, make the trip to visit this temple. Although I didn't see any cats roaming around, there are plenty of good luck cats that can be purchased, and if you pray or make a wish, you'd have to leave it at the temple for your wish to come true. The pagoda and temples were amazing to see, if you're into architecture. The variety of plants were very beautiful.
G	Gene Jasper on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful temple in Setagaya City, with a cemetery next door.
E	Eunice N on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely temple with so many ‘cats’. Had a peace walk around this area.
s	sabari nathan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one of the famous cat ? temples in Tokyo. If you have any wishes, you can buy the cat from the temple. Once the urge becomes true, you need to return the cat to the temple. It is traditional in this temple.
L	Local Guide Recommends on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Maneki-Neko” beckoning cat figurines Everywhere!!! This is where you’ll see many cats, each of which is an offering to the temple. When you’re done admiring that cats, you can decide if you’d like to place an offering yourself. Make a wish, buy a figurine, when it comes true, offer it back to the temple. From the outside, this temple looks no different from many others. It’s beautiful with greenery and has a cemetery too. You can also buy one of these “ema,” or boards where you can write a wish on the back. Great for: ✔︎ A strange and fun experience ✔︎ Photography ✔︎ Break from your stressful job Temple is a bit out of the way, but worth checking out if you’re done seeing most of the major things in Tokyo. You’ll probably find a few other tourists. Just 250m from Miyanosaka Station. Note: Sakura ??had started to bloom
R	Ron D on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gotokuji is famous for its lucky cat figurines. Some visit the temple when they feel down or are running out of luck. But more than increasing one’s luck, a trip to Gotokuji is an immersion in the unique neighborhood (I didn’t include photos of interesting houses but you’ll see them on the way to the temple!) and the often downplayed structures within and around the temple (you can see these in the pictures). Be sure to check the temple’s hours (it closes early) and bring extra cash if you want to buy yourself a cat figurine (the bigger the cat the more expensive it is).
