[Souvenir advice] Japanese calligraphy cards of temples and shrines: Goshuin(御朱印)

Seisokuji 栖足寺
This blog is my photo gallery that shows the photos I shot while travelling around Japan, and I often visit temples and shrines for not only taking photos but receiving a calligraphy cards of each temple or shrine called "Goshuin(御朱印)". Recently almost all temples and shrines are providing us their Goshuin with beautiful writings, stamps or even religious pictures! 

Goshuin has a religious meaning, but at the same time, I believe it should be a good souvenir or gift when you travel around Japanese temples and shrines. Therefore this page will briefly introduce you the origin and meaning of Goshuin and how you can get them with some simple conversation samples and my photos of Goshuin and temples/shrines.
