How purrfect is that? Scroll down for Maneki Neko World interview with the owner of Koyuki the head cat monk of Meow Meow Temple!
The current owner of Nyan Nyan Ji, whose Instagram account is @nekojizo, said the temple was founded by an artist called Toru Kaya, who specializes in painting and decorating temples and pagodas in Japan. Because he especially loved cats, he devoted his life’s fortune to create a temple for this adorable animal.

Located in Kyoto, this is not only a place to raise a lot of cats but also coordinates for displaying statues and drawings related to cats. Visit the temple and enjoy cat-themed foods and drinks. Alternatively, you can buy souvenirs related to this animal at the store called “Littlefootmark Ren” right on the temple grounds.
The cats here became very popular and attracted many visitors.
Those people visiting the Nyan Nyan Temple in Kyoto are in for a treat because they’ll be greeted by the current cat monk named Koyuki. Inside the temple, you can order food and drinks that are, appropriately, cat-themed.
Koyuki’s owner talked to Maneki Neko World about Meow Meow Temple: “This temple was opened by painter Toru Kaya with the theme of this favorite cat.”
According to Koyuki’s owner, the person who opened Meow Meow Temple is a well-known painter of “shrines and temples.”
Visiting “Meo Meo Temple”, almost everyone has to see her white cat named Koyuki – Nyan Nyan Ji’s third abbot. Koyuki had two other abbot cats before, but they all passed away. This white cat impressed by the face a bit “hard to live” but actually a very cute personality, friendly.

Koyuki isn’t the first cat monk to occupy the. The cat monk Koyuki is not the only feline at Nyan Nyan Ji. There are plenty of assistants there too. However, Koyuki, who has a grumpy face, is the most popular Catto. We can see why, but we’re of the opinion that all cats are worth our attention.
