Cat Cat Temple Cat Cat Theme Park

Neko-no-ji is a cat and temple themed store located at the foot of Mount Hiei in Yase, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto. It is a complex tea shop run by a family of three, Kayue Tetsu, Kayue Junko and Kayue Masano. The owner, Toru Kaeyoshi, is a mural restorer specializing in shrines and temples. He and his son Masano Kaeyoshi are both cat artists. They used their painting skills and artistic talents to create this temple-style theme park that will drive cat lovers crazy. The main attraction of the Cat Cat Temple 🐈⬛ is the Cat Abbots, a group of cute cats who take turns sitting in the temple every day to provide healing and blessings to tourists. The deity enshrined in Cat Cat Temple is Daiichi Nekorai, a cat Buddha statue made by the owner and his son. It is said that visiting here can bring joy and blessings. The walls and roof of the Cat Temple are covered with cat murals painted by Kayue Masano. They show the various expressions and postures of cats, making people want to take pictures. In addition to the company of cats, Mao Mao Temple 🐈 also has delicious and cute cat pudding 🍮 platter, which is composed of various cat-shaped cakes 🍰 and drinks. The plates and cups are also cat-themed. There is also a grocery store in the Cat Cat Temple called little footmark REN, which has a collection of more than a hundred kinds of cat accessories and original peripherals, such as cat amulets, cat red seal books, cat postcards, etc., which are all souvenirs that cat lovers cannot miss. If you visit Nekomaru-dera Temple, take the Eizan Railway from Kyoto Station and get off at Yase-Hei-Sanguchi, then walk 20 minutes or take a bus to get off at Mikobuchi Station. The business hours of Mao Mao Temple are 11:00-17:00, 11:00-18:00 on weekends and holidays, and closed on Tuesdays. The abbots of the Mao Mao Temple are not necessarily here every day, and each abbot has different duty hours, so if you want to see a specific cat, it is best to check the Mao Mao Temple's official website or call to inquire in advance. Cat Temple is a dream place for cat lovers. It not only allows you to feel the charm of cats, but also allows you to appreciate the art of cats.
