What is the Japanese Heritage "Goshuin"?

"Goshuin" is an initiative that allows you to collect stamps in a special Goshuin book as a memento of visiting areas designated as Japan Heritage Sites.
It is loved by many people as a memento of their trip, as well as one of the joys of touring Japan's heritage sites.

Precautions for use

・A special "Japan Heritage Seal Book" is required for stamping.
・Shima City Tourist Information Center does not sell Goshuincho.
(Please purchase at Toba City Sea-Floor Museum or by mail order.)
・The stamped impression is the same as that of the Toba City Sea-Fish Museum.
・Currently, the only places offering "female diver" stamps are the Toba City Sea Museum and the Shima City Tourist Information Center.

For more information about the Japanese Heritage "Goshuin," please see the official website of the Japan Tourism Association.
