Springtime Good Luck at Cat Temple

#springitinerary If you’re in Tokyo during spring and want a cute, chill spot that’s kinda off the usual tourist radar, Gotokuji Temple is where you wanna go. This place is famous for its thousands of little maneki-neko (the lucky cat statues), which makes wandering around super fun and oddly calming. In spring, the temple grounds get a fresh boost of greenery and some cherry blossoms, adding to the whole relaxed vibe. It’s way less crowded than other Tokyo spots, so you can actually take your time checking out the quirky cat statues and peaceful gardens. Plus, the temple has a really laid-back feel, making it perfect if you want to escape the busy city for a bit. If you’re into cute, calm, and lowkey spots with a splash of spring beauty, Gotokuji is a sweet little hidden gem!
