Gotokuji Temple Tour

Stroll through the serene grounds of Gotokuji Temple, where beckoning cat statues have been bringing visitors good fortune for centuries.

The seemingly endless collection of maneki-neko figurines makes for the perfect Instagrammable view at this 500-year-old Buddhist temple.

After working up an appetite, head to Fukudaya for a hearty soba lunch.

Then, end the day on a sweet note at Rarasand as you try its famous maneki-neko monaka, a traditional Japanese confectionary, for some extra luck.

Don’t miss the opportunity to explore this one-of-a-kind destination.
