Collect the memories of Japan, then bring its temples, shrines and calligraphy together one piece at a time. GoShuin combines a digital goshuin book, a shrine and temple map, a personal visit journal and a relaxing sliding puzzle game. The first 50 distinct places marked Goshuin collected are included. A separate optional one-time Unlimited saves purchase removes this limit. Existing collected places stay editable, and earlier purchases can be restored.

The first three picture puzzles are free on Easy in the square and mixed-block formats.

YOUR COLLECTION, CLOSE AT HAND The bundled catalogue and local records work without an account. Optional Sign in with Apple enables private iCloud scan-library sync and additional artwork downloads. The app interface supports Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Before visiting, check the venue’s current official information and rules. Map coverage is partial, and a listed place does not guarantee goshuin availability. Puzzle illustrations are artwork, not a record of receiving an official temple or shrine stamp. Public catalogue sources: Wikidata (CC0) and OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Optionally show live moves remaining and see when a move takes you closer or farther from completion. When the exact minimum is unavailable, the count is clearly marked as a lower bound. Try a true hexagonal tray with 22 triangular pieces and two connected empty spaces. Triangles slide without rotating, with legal hints and certified minimums of 6, 12 or 20 moves. Rounded tiles have been removed. Set difficulty with a slider anchored at Easy, Normal and Hard, including intermediate challenges within each board format. The next new puzzle gradually gets harder as you complete pictures. Each slider setting is based on a verified minimum move count; unfinished puzzles keep their original challenge and saved moves.
