Maneki-Neko(招き猫)


When you go to the souvenir shop in Japan, you can find these cute cat dolls with its paw raised.
These cat dolls are called "Maneki-Neko(招き猫)" and it is popular in Japan as a lucky charm that brings you happiness.
Also it is said that the one with its right paw raised brings you money and the one with its left paw raised brings you people.
For that reason, Maneki-Neko is often displayed in shops or offices in Japan.

Unfortunately there is no Maneki-Neko at A-yado.
The above picture is our guest souvenir for her parents.
But we have many lucky charms from the other country here. When some guests checked out, they gave us them. So we hope that those lucky charm will bring us happiness.
