Step2 : Pray at the shrine or temple

Goshuin is proof that you have prayed at that place.

So pray shrine or temple before you get the Goshuin.

==The way to pray==

Temple : https://youtu.be/mpF0BVKm2n8



Step3 : Go to the office of the temple / shrine to get Goshuin.

Just Open the Goshuin-Cho and pass it to the staff.
They will write the beautiful stamp for you.

*Almost shrines & temples open 9am - 4pm.

Step 4 : Pay money and Say Thank you.

The price of the stamp is said to be based on “your own feeling” .

But nomally Japanese people pay 300JPY - 500JPY for one stamp.

 Don't forget to say thank you in Japanese. "Arigatou Gozaimasu!"
