Kita-Senju in Tokyo

Night time on the West-side of Kita-Senju Station


Kita-Senju is located in Adachi Ward in Tokyo and is full of parks, old-school shopping streets, and a famous fireworks festival. It is known as an Edo-period postal town, where travelers stopped for the night before making their way to the city center. Kita-Senju Station is the third busiest station on the Tokyo Metro Network. It is one of Tokyo’s leading terminal stations with connecting trains such as JR Joban Line, JR Narita Line, and JR Ueno-Tokyo Line. Non-JR railway services include the Hibiya and Chiyoda Line, Tobu Skytree Line, and Tsukuba Express. I’ve visited Kita-Senju several times and it is less crowded but as appealing as other popular areas of Tokyo.

Manekineko Gotokuji Temple Tokyo

 

 

The story of the Manekineko occurred when the lord Naotaka li was beckoned by a cat at the temple gate and decided to stop by. After spending time at the temple, thunder and rain started to fall but the lord was impressed by this luck that the cat brought. Afterwards Gotokuji temple was rebuilt in 1633 by lord Naotaka.

Later Gotokuji temple was built the Shofuku-den to enshrine the cat that brought good fortune, naming it as “Manekineko”. Today thousands of people visit Shofuku-den to pray for well-being for the family, prosperous business, luck and happiness.
