A goshuincho is a special notebook used to collect goshuin, which are unique stamps and calligraphy given at Japanese temples and shrines.
Goshuin are more than just stamps; they are considered a "certificate" of your visit and a connection to the deity or Buddha of that specific temple or shrine. Each one is a beautiful, handwritten work of art, with the date and the name of the temple or shrine written in ink and a vermilion seal pressed next to it😊

Doing a goshuincho pilgramage all over japan is now on my “to do before i die”-list
no goshuin can be obtained at most of the shrines in japan, not “only be obtained at xxx places”
you should mention the shrine names as well
Planning a trip for my 50th in a few years, definitely adding some of these to the list. Thanks for the idea and the pic!
