One day, a lord passing through this area on his way back from hawking was beckoned by a cat at the temple gate and decided to stop by. While he was staying at the temple, thunder suddenly rumbled and rain began to fall. The Tono was very touched by his good fortune, as he was able to avoid the thunderstorm and enjoy talking with the monk. Since then, Gotokuji Temple has called the cat that brought good fortune "Manekineko. Many visitors come to the temple to pray for good luck.
