Gotokuji Temple · Tokyo

Visit the temple known for maneki-neko figures for a quiet outing beyond the photograph. Allow extra travel time from the centre; a short city break need not bend around one photograph. Respect worship areas, objects and photography restrictions. View the figures without rearranging them, and keep noise low in surrounding residential streets.
