Oh my god I am so excited to collect these on my next visit to Japan! I was originally looking for a video on collecting eki stamps but I came across this video and now I know, that I need a goshuincho as well. Thank you for sharing these tips. :)

This is really cool! I'm planning to go to Japan soon so I really appreciate this information, glad youtube recommended it to me. I've seen these before but never actually knew what they were, so it's really cool to learn about them and now I'm definitely going to have to collect them on my trip

Thank you for this video. I had no idea! We're headed to Tokyo in October. I'm a bookbinder and would love to make my own book. Can you tell me the weight of the paper and how many pages? I'm assuming it's thick due to the inks used so they don't bleed through. I was thinking of using smooth watercolor paper.

Thank you for your very informative video! Visiting Japan is one of my dreams. Thank you for introducing me to the idea of goshuin 🤩

So glad you liked it! I hope you get to achieve your dream of visiting soon ✈

Wow thank you!

Great video. I'm planning to pick up a goshuincho in Sakura Jingu Shrine and start to collect them. Unfortunately missed on my opportunity on my last 5-week trip so I might need to come back to those places :D I'll also start collecting eki stamps but ordered a nice eki stamp book on Amazon

That's a great idea! I've seen a few color variations on the goshuincho from Sakura Jingu, so I'd be interested to hear which one you end up with!

I'm a few months late to this - where did you get the hikan inari shrine goshuin, please? I don't see an office there - was it part of the nearby asakusa shrine too or available from their office?

Yes, it shares the shrine office here with Asakusa Shrine: maps.app.goo.gl/bLepFcoVwVphggXE9 Hope the direct link helps!

suzi, did you collect goshuin from temples and shrines in the same book? I have read a few places they should be kept in separate books, and if not, some places will refuse.

Great question! I've also heard that this is sometimes practiced by goshuin collectors, but I've never had it come up - and I've received something like 200+ goshuin by now! I can't rule it out entirely, but I wouldn't worry too much. It's also the case that, post-pandemic, something like 80% of the shrines and temples I've visited have given me kakioki (the separately prepared goshuin pages that you'll glue in on your own) so most offices won't be looking at the goshuin you previously received anyway.
