What is a Goshuincho?

A goshuincho is, literally, an “honorable stamp/seal book” used by people visiting shrines or temples.

Goshuincho are not intended to be used as souvenirs. They are a record of pilgrimage and not something to be treated casually.

【#山田ごうの御朱印録　その7】 初めての東北神社巡りで受けた金蛇水神社の御朱印帳。 蛇の御朱印帳は当時珍しかった気がします。 伊佐須美神社の御朱印は前宮司さま生前のものです。 見開き御朱印はうちが初めてやったのですよ。と仰ってたのを覚えています。 #金蛇水神社 #御朱印帳 #神社 #神社巡り #shrine#御朱印 #御朱印集めてる人と繋がりたい #goshuin #goshuincho #jmj_jp https://www.instagram.com/p/B3zPx5QFXyp/?igshid=1xay8722kn6ev

Katsuyuki Moray proudly shows off the newest addition to his seal book. The book is called a goshuincho, and many shrines and temples will add their unique red stamp and calligraphy to it in exchange for a small donation.

While I’ve experience many things during my time studying abroad (I still got 2 months left) I think my favorite experience is visiting the many temples and shrines here in Kyoto. I find it so interesting that while there’s so many, none of them look exactly the same and all of them have such different garden and artwork displayed. The pictures above are when I went to Byodoin Temple which is featured on the 10yen coin. Gintaku-ji, a silver pavilion surround by lots of greenery and a walkway path up to the mountain. Kiyomizu-dera which is a temple situated on the side of a mountain, which means your thighs are going to burn from walking up the hill to even get to this temple, but the view of the city is worth it. I also went to Ryoan-ji which was a temple I learned about in my Asian art class a couple years back and planned on visiting when I went back to Japan, it’s dry garden is wonderfully contrasted by the lush greenery surrounding the temple (really, please try to visit here if you go to Kyoto, it’s beautiful). Then I went to see Ginkaku-ji extravagant sibling Kinkaku-ji, the golden pavilion. I’ve also been to Chion-in, which is a temple with a lot of stairs (well most of them have a lot of stairs actually).

I honestly spent so much money going inside them and getting my goshuincho (seal book) signed at all the locations! I just filled up 1 whole book and just bought a new one earlier this week. Each seal was about 200-500yen depending on the temple or shine. It might seem like a lot but all (except 1) were done right in front of my by hand by the temple or shrine calligrapher.
