Stone lantern at the Buddhist temple Gōtokuji, Tokyo. The stone lantern is called a tōrō (灯籠). This particular style of pedestal lantern is known as a kasuga-dōrō (春日灯籠), and is one of the most common types found in Japan.
For most tourists Gōtokuji is quite a bit off compared to other famous sites in Tokyo - but it is still quite popular. After all they maintain the story of being the place that invented the beckoning cat - said to be inspired by a story of a monk's cat which saved the daimyo Ii Naotaka (1590-1659) from being hit by lightning by beckoning him into the temple.
But this temple is worth a visit for more than that (and I am saying this as a great cat lover). It is the largest historical site in Tokyo (according to the sign at the entrance - and I have no reason to doubt it). A temple has stood here since 1480, and Gōtokuji dates to 1655, with many of its existing buildings dating from the 17th century. The grounds are extensive and includes a cemetery for the Ii-family with traditional tombs. So that an Ii-family member was saved at this particular temple, according to the legend, might not be so very surprising since they obviously had strong ties to it.
