Скачать или смотреть 1 Hour of Rainy Day Photography at a Cat Temple in Tokyo

On a rainy day in early autumn, I went to Gotokuji Temple in Tokyo with my favorite Lumix S9 paired with Lumix 35mm prime lens. The area around the temple is peaceful and quiet, surrounded by traditional Japanese residential neighborhoods.

Gotokuji Temple is considered one of the origins of the maneki-neko (Lucky cat), and there are countless figurines of the cat displayed in specific areas, creating a unique sight. These maneki-neko are usually white, with their right paw raised, symbolizing the bringing of wealth and good fortune. Visitors can purchase these figurines and offer them at the temple, praying for luck and prosperity. In addition, Gotokuji’s garden and architecture are particularly beautiful, especially in autumn when the maple leaves turn red, making the scenery even more enchanting.

If you enjoy cat culture and traditional Japanese settings with a serene atmosphere, this might be the perfect place for you.
