With this app I can find out all the details about it. It’s beautifully designed and a joy to use. I really appreciate the iPad layout too. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review. As a resident of Japan, we are especially glad the app helps you discover more about the temples across the country, it’s not an easy task to cover in an app, all the incredible temples and shrines in Japan! We are particularly thrilled to hear you enjoy the design, the details, and the iPad layout. Your feedback means a lot to us! Thank you! ### 5/5 — The one Japan app that earns its space *2026-07-24* Every temple visit now starts and ends in this app. Goshuin Atlas does one thing and does it beautifully: finds temples and shrines near you, tells you whether they offer goshuin before you walk there, and gives you a digital goshuincho to log every stamp with a photo and a note. The temple pages are the quiet standout history, enshrined deities, access, hours, all in one place, so you arrive knowing what you’re looking at instead of piecing it together afterward. And the map handles both ends of the spectrum: the famous ones you planned for, and the small neighbourhood shrine you only noticed because you took the slower street. Months from now, the collection you’ve built here will be the part of the trip you keep coming back to. Clean, focused, clearly made by someone who’s actually spent long days doing this. If Japan’s sacred places are why you’re going, get this first. **Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful review. I’m so glad Goshuin Atlas has become part of your temple visits. I really appreciate that you highlighted how the app helps you find nearby places, check goshuin availability, and keep your goshuincho organized with photos and notes. It means a lot to hear you enjoy the temple pages and how the map helps you discover both planned stops and those small neighbourhood shrines along the way. Your words truly encourage us to keep improving. Thank you again for choosing Goshuin Atlas! ### 5/5 — Best thing for my travel *2026-06-14* It has been really helpful in planning my trip to Japan and exploring Goshuin.

If you’re planning to visit temples and shrines in Japan - especially if you collect goshuin - this app is an absolute must-have. It makes finding temples and shrines incredibly easy and being able to save every goshuin means you’ll always remember exactly where you received each one. Looking back at past trips has become so much more enjoyable because everything is organized in one place. One of the best things about the app is its community. The database keeps growing with new temples and shrines and if you find a place that’s missing, you can suggest it. New locations are usually added very quickly, which is impressive. I’ve also reported a few minor mistakes and they were corrected almost immediately. It’s obvious that the developer is passionate about the app and truly listens to user feedback. The combination of an excellent app, an active community and a responsive developer makes this one of the best travel apps I’ve ever used. I honestly can’t imagine traveling through Japan without it.
