## What is GoshuinGo?

COLLECT GOSHUIN
Planning a trip to Japan? Collect a unique souvenir as you step into a 1300 year old tradition! Scattered across prefectures and cities, you'll find hidden shrines and temples offering Goshuin. As you watch monks slide their brushes across paper, you'll witness the beautiful adornment of red "temple stamps" with intricate Japanese characters. Each Goshuin is unique and will be safely kept in your Goshuinchō. When you return home, you'll have a one-of-a-kind souvenir and memories that will last a lifetime.

FIND EVERYTHING YOU NEED
GoshuinGo helps you uncover hidden shrines and temples throughout Japan. We provide easy access to directions, opening hours, and entry fees for all the locations you're interested in visiting. Browse previews of collectible Goshuin before you even arrive, so you can plan your perfect route with our itinerary tool. Log the temples you've visited, track your growing collection, and keep your entire journey in one place.

HELP PRESERVE THIS LEGACY
Our mission is to help preserve the rich history and traditions of Japan's temples and shrines. When you purchase a Goshuin (the monks request a small donation), you will be supporting this important cause and help ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy these beautiful places. Together, we can make a meaningful impact while experiencing the wonders that Japan has to offer. Will you join on this adventure?
