Goshuincho Stamp Book

What Is a Goshuincho?

A Goshuincho is a traditional Japanese stamp book used to collect Goshuin—unique stamps or seals received from temples and shrines in Japan. Each Goshuin features intricate calligraphy and serves as a record of your visit, symbolizing a spiritual connection with the site.​

Historical Significance

Originally, Goshuin were given to worshippers as proof of their dedication and prayer offerings at temples and shrines. Over time, collecting these stamps became a meaningful way to document spiritual journeys.​

Modern-Day Uses

Today, the use of Goshuincho has expanded beyond religious purposes. Travelers and enthusiasts collect Goshuin not only from temples and shrines but also from train stations and museums, turning the Goshuincho into a versatile travel journal.
