Tucked away in a quiet corner of Asakusa, you'll find a charming little shrine with a big heart. This is the legendary birthplace of the maneki-neko, or beckoning cat, and you'll see their delightful figures everywhere, promising good fortune. It's also a beloved spot for those seeking a little luck in love, as it's dedicated to the first married couple in Japanese mythology. The atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful and intimate, a perfect retreat from the bustle of the city.
