What to expect

Immerse yourself in the rich culture of Gotokuji Temple—the legendary birthplace of the Maneki-neko (Lucky Cat)—with this hands-on painting experience.

The Maneki-neko is a traditional Japanese lucky charm believed to "invite good fortune." In this workshop, decorate your very own traditional cat figurine made of papier-mâché.

While traditional painting can be delicate and time-consuming, specialized pens are provided so you can enjoy the process effortlessly. Whether you are a beginner or don't consider yourself "artistic," you’ll find it easy to create something beautiful.

In addition to drawing, use complimentary stickers to decorate your cat. This allows for even more creative freedom to make a truly one-of-a-kind design. There is no need to change clothes or bring any supplies. It’s the perfect activity to fit into your sightseeing schedule.

Once finished, take your lucky cat home immediately. It makes for a wonderful memento of your trip or a unique, handmade gift for someone special.
