The Shima City Tourism Association will begin selling "castle stamps" as a new item.
A "Gojoin" (castle stamp) is essentially the castle version of a "Goshuin" (temple/shrine stamp). Over 1,000 different types of Gojoin are already sold at castles (and castle ruins) throughout Japan, and they are extremely popular as collector's items among castle enthusiasts.
There are over a dozen castle ruins confirmed within Shima City, and among them, the most representative is Namikiri Castle.
Currently, the site of Namikiri Castle has been developed into Hachiman-san Park, but earthen rampart-like terrain remains that suggests the castle site.
The Shima City Tourism Association hopes that this will encourage people to visit Shima and tour its castle ruins.
