[2025 Tokoname Attraction] Travel Guide for Tokoname (Updated May)

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?

Recording Nagoya two weeks ago It was rainy during the two days we came☔️ We went to Tokugawa Garden/Aquarium/Nagoya Castle/Tokoname, and the rest of the time we just ate and walked around the city [Eel rice] It was really delicious, the skin was crispy and crispy, it was just the right amount for the first meal after landing, and there was no need to queue up, and it didn’t affect dinner and supper [Chicken skin] I accidentally ordered 30 skewers, which is a level I won’t eat again this year, but the sweet and crispy taste is indeed a rare one [Harbs] Originated from here, I finally had a fruit lasagna in the restaurant (maybe the heat has passed) [Tokoname milk] The last stop before walking can be regarded as the milk of life [Various cafes and bakeries] There are many cafes and bakeries whose names I can’t remember, and I can smell the baking aroma 50 meters away, so I volunteered to join the queue It’s a pity that every time we travel to Japan, we are in a hurry I hope that the progress can be slower next time I come

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 🐱Tokoname is a major pottery town in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, famous for its thousand-year-old "Tokoname ware". The ancient street "Yakimo no Sanpodou" is full of pottery kiln relics and red brick chimneys, and the walls are inlaid with pottery installations, full of traditional craftsmanship. The landmark "Tokonyan" is a giant lucky cat sculpture, which symbolizes the guardian beast of craftsmen. This place is closely connected to the animated film "I Want to Cry, So I Put on a Cat's Mask" - the story is inspired by Tokoname, and the heroine escapes from reality through a cat mask, echoing the local cat culture and fantasy atmosphere. The scenes in the film recreate the pottery workshop and the old street scenery, and feel the unique charm of the interweaving of reality and fantasy #Tokoname #Tokonyan #NAGOYA #Nagoya #japan #traveljapan #Nagoyatravel

#Emotional Cafe I visited Tokoname where you can enjoy a foot bath in a cafe 🩶 It's not a place that's well-known to Koreans yet, so there were a lot of Japanese and Chinese people! It's a small city right next to Nagoya Airport ♨️ They were selling a dessert of gelato on top of sweet potatoes for about 1,100 yen, and it was so delicious that I want to visit again 😆 You can also enjoy a foot bath in the middle of the cafe, so it's a popular place 💕 📍My Golden Baked Sweet Potato・Foot Bath Cafe 📌Aichi, Tokoname, Sakaemachi, 2 Chome−８８−88 ⏰10:00~17:00 #JapanTravel #NagoyaTravel #Tokoname

#February Good Places 2025 A trip to Nagoya, Japan, unintentionally allowed us to find this super huge lucky cat. If you look closely, the lucky cat doesn't say "Chang Man" on it, but "Chang Slip". Why? Check on the map, it turns out that this area is Toshiwa City. The Lucky Cat is located at the Toshiwa City branch of Aeon Super Plaza. Friends who are interested in getting rich can come here to shake hands and take a photo with this super huge lucky cat! Of course, you can also go to the supermarket to purchase a variety of Japanese snacks and play with the pinball machine and twister machine! 📍Address: AEON Super Plaza, Tokiwa, Nagoya #Nagoya Family Tour

This is the first time I have seen such a big lucky cat! Located in Tokoname, Nagoya, a small city close to the airport You can arrange to visit it after getting off the plane or before getting on the plane. There is a ceramic street here. If you walk around, you will find that there are different ceramic artworks in every street and alley. You can spend half a day here. The most eye-catching thing must be this giant lucky cat ✨ There is a slight sense of oppression when looking at it from different angles😆 It was very leisurely walking on the road, and I didn't see any tourists that day. Suitable for you who likes tranquility～～ #Tokoname #Nagoya

Tokiwa is a city in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is also home to a world-renowned product - the Lucky Cat, where there are many ancient kiln industries with a high reputation in ceramics. Many traditional ceramic crafts can still be seen today, such as kilns for firing ceramics and craftsmen who make ceramics by hand. In Tokiwa, there is a line called “Lucky Cat Street” where 39 potters and craftsmen have made 39 ceramic pieces of cats. These ceramic cats are placed in various corners of the concrete walls, and each “Miracle Ceramic Lucky Cat” represents different wishes such as love success, academic progress, family harmony, health and longevity, miscarriage, safe driving and safe travel. You can “check in” with the corresponding kitten according to your wishes. And in Tokiwa City, be sure to visit the giant guard cat "Tsune Meow" known as Japan's number one. It has an amazing size of 6.3 meters wide and 3.2 meters high, which is the height of a floor. In addition to being a symbol of Toshiwa City, the "Chang Meow" from a distance also kind of guards the entire Toshiwa City, which is really spectacular. If you are interested in lucky cats and ceramics, you must not miss it!
