Gotokuji (Lucky Cat Temple) and Setagaya Tour
This tour visits the Gotokuji Temple, known for it's manekineko (fortune bringing cat). In this area, the street signs and even the train has a cat theme!
The tour covers other interesting neighborhoods of the Setagaya district, such as Shimokitazawa, known as a trendy, laid-back suburban area and also Sangenjaya, a place that combines retro looking alleys with some newer developments. Here there is a great view of the city from the observation deck run by the city. These locations are directly reachable by a short train ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya on the Tokyo's west side.
Like my other tours, this one also utilizes the public transportation system including the Tokyu Setagaya Line - some of the two car sets have drawings of a cat in the exterior!
