The Cutest Good Luck Tour in Tokyo is Here.

Gotokuji Temple has the most lucky cats, with around 1,000 of them. This temple is also the birthplace of the lucky cat. A lucky cat raises its right paw, while a fortune cat raises its left paw. If you want to make a wish, you can take a lucky cat home first, and when your wish comes true, return it and exchange it for a bigger one. This is the origin of the thousands of cats in the temple. × Tips: The temple office for the lucky cats closes at 4 PM, so don't come too late if you want to make a wish. Especially if you want to buy a big fortune cat, you should arrive at the temple by 7 AM (each person can only buy one, and they only accept cash). Transportation: 1. After arriving at Gotokuji Station on the Odakyu Line, walk about 10 minutes along the Gotokuji shopping street. Alternatively, transfer to the Tokyu Setagaya Line tram and get off at Miyanosaka Station, then walk for 3 minutes. 2. Take the cute Setagaya Line 'Lucky Cat Train' to Yamashita Station and walk from there. The Lucky Cat Train runs infrequently, so please check the timetable online in advance.
