真福寺, Buddhist temple in Setagaya, Japan.

The temple grounds feature multiple buildings including a main hall constructed in traditional Japanese architectural style with curved roofs and wooden elements.

Founded in 1480 as Kotoku-in, the temple received its current name Gotoku-ji in 1659 after Ii Naotaka, the second feudal lord of Hikone Domain.

The temple serves as the final resting place for successive generations of the Ii clan, including Ii Naosuke, the 13th head of the family.

Located within a five-minute walk from Gotokuji station, the temple opens daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM without entrance fees.

The temple maintains a collection of maneki-neko cat figurines, which visitors leave as offerings following a tradition linked to a historical cat story.
