Mitsuzō-in, Buddhist temple in Setagaya district, Japan.
The temple features numerous buildings within its grounds, including a main hall, a pagoda, and a cemetery containing the tombs of the Ii clan.
Established in 1480 as Kotoku-in, the temple received its current name in 1659 to commemorate the Buddhist name of Hikone Domain's second lord.
The temple holds special significance as the origin site of the Maneki-neko, displaying hundreds of beckoning cat statues throughout its premises.
Visitors can reach the temple via the Odakyu line from Shinjuku station, followed by a 12-minute walk from Gotokuji station, with free admission daily.
The Shofuku-den pavilion houses an extensive collection of Maneki-neko statues, which visitors can purchase from the temple shop for personal offerings.
