Gotokuji Temple and the lucky cat

It all began when a cat invited
a lord to the temple on his way back from falconry .

Later, Gotokuji Temple built a hall to worship the cats that bring good fortune, calling them “Lucky Cats.” Many visitors come to the hall to pray for safety in their homes, prosperity in business, and good fortune. A standing statue of the Good-Luck Kannon Bodhisattva is enshrined in the hall.
