幸龍寺, Buddhist temple in Setagaya-ku, Japan
The temple grounds contain numerous maneki-neko statues surrounding a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, along with traditional Buddhist architecture.
The temple construction began in 1480 as Kotoku-in, later renamed to Edo Bodaiji in 1633 when the region came under Hikone Domain ownership.
The temple maintains the tombs of successive feudal lords of the Ii clan, including Ii Naosuke, who served as a roju in the Tokugawa shogunate.
Located five minutes from Gotokuji station on the Odakyu line, the temple opens daily from 6 AM to 6 PM with free admission for visitors.
A cat belonging to a temple priest guided a feudal lord to safety during a thunderstorm, leading to the temple's association with maneki-neko figures.
