[Recommended attractions in Nagoya] Tokoname's giant lucky cat | A super cute check-in spot for a quick trip to the airport🐾

If you are a cat lover or a grandma lover(?), how can you miss this cute and huge lucky cat "Tokonyan" when you come to Nagoya! It only takes half an hour to get to Tokoname Station from downtown Nagoya by train. It is a great stopover before heading to Central Japan International Airport. As soon as you exit the station, you will see a giant cat lying on the wall with its hands raised. It is really soothing! You can go around the path next to it and reach the bridge for a clearer view. There are two kitten statues in front of the giant cat, looking at it. The picture is so cute! Not only tourists, but locals also like to stroll and take photos here. The entire "Lucky Cat Path" is also hidden with mini cat statues of various shapes, which are so cute when photographed. It has attracted many tourists and cat lovers from all over the world to make a pilgrimage! 📸 Tokoname is also known as the "hometown of lucky cats" because it produces the most lucky cats in the country each year. A large number of lucky cats are shipped from here every year. 📌 Another big plus point nearby is—— AEON MALL Tokoname is within walking distance and has a giant lucky cat on its outer wall. There is also a food court, supermarket and MUJI, so it's perfect for buying souvenirs or having a bite to eat before taking the train to the airport! — 🗺 Attractions Information 📍 Tokoname Lucky Cat Pass/Giant Lucky Cat "とこにゃん" 🚶 About 3 minutes walk from Meitetsu "Tokoname Station" 💡 Open all day and free to visit, daytime light is best for taking photos! 📍AEON MALL Tokoname (also has a huge lucky cat) 🚶 About 7 minutes walk from Rinku Tokoname Station, there are shopping, food, and rest areas ✈️ Only one train stop away from Central Japan International Airport (セントレア), super convenient～ #Nagoya Attractions #Tokoname Maneki-neko #Nagoya Must-go #Japanese Maneki-neko #Cat Lover Travel #Nagoya Half-Day Tour #Tokoname Station #Japan Free Travel #Central International Airport Tour #とこにゃん #aeonmallTokoname #Aichi Attractions #tokoname #セントレア #Maneki-neko Check-in #Maneki-neko Hometown #High-Speed ​​Granny — Who says you can’t have a relaxing trip before catching a flight?
