What is Goshuin?

A goshuin is a record given to worshipers as proof of their visit to a shrine or temple, and is a record of their relationship with the gods and Buddha.

Goshuin stamps vary depending on each shrine or temple, but most of them have information written on them, such as the seal, the date of worship, the name of the shrine or temple, and the name of the deity or Buddha enshrined there.

 

About the charm of goshuin

Depending on the shrine or temple, some are colorful, some are cute, and some are given for a limited time, and the shading of the seals varies slightly depending on how hard or weakly they are stamped, so one of the attractions is that no two Goshuin stamps are the same. .

Additionally, the date on which the stamps were awarded is also recorded, so if you receive a variety of stamps, you can look back on them as various memories.

Furthermore, let's take a look at what is written on the goshuin. By doing so, you will become interested in the origins and history of shrines and temples, and you will become more familiar with the shrines and temples than before, and you will be able to enjoy ``visiting'' them. it might be.
