    I discovered this experience while planning a visit to Gotokuji Temple. The temple is known for its simple white lucky cats, but at this workshop, you can paint and decorate your very own original Maneki-neko. This experience is enjoyable for all ages, from children to adults. Designing and painting your own cat was incredibly fun, and it made for the best souvenir from my trip to Japan. The staff were very kind and helpful, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Tokyo!
