This is Koyuki, the temple's head monk. Koyuki loves interacting with her 'worshipers,' according to her owner.
"This temple was opened by painter Toru Kaya with the theme of his favorite cat."
The temple is filled with statues and drawings featuring cats. You can also buy souvenirs from the temple shop 'Littlefootmark Ren.'
The cat monk, Koyuki, is very beloved and happens to be the most popular feline at the temple.
The temple opened only in 2016.
Although Koyuki isn't the first cat monk, there have already been three generations of cat monks.
Ready to be worshipped!
The temple also has 'cat assistants' who are definitely not as beloved as Koyuki, but they are still very cute.
Such adorable kitties!
If you're ever planning on visiting this temple, here's the address: 520 Yasekonoecho, Sakyo-Ku, Kyoto 601-1253, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
I wonder what he's thinking right now.
