What is a goshuin?

A goshuin is a special stamp you can receive at temples and shrines in Japan. Each one is handwritten with calligraphy and marked with a red seal, and it serves as a record of your visit. You can have it written directly into your goshuincho (stamp book), or you can receive a pre-written version on paper (kakioki goshuin) to paste into your book later.

This page is my personal collection of goshuin scans from temples and shrines across Japan.
