You’ll find plenty of bakeries around Gotokuji temple which offer maneki-neko-shaped baked goods, but Tohiken, a sweets shop close to Gotokuji Station, specialises in them. Pick up some lucky cat-shaped butter cookies, manju or some DIY monaka – the anko (sweet red bean paste) filling and wafers are kept separate until you construct the treat yourself to avoid a soggy moggy.
