How to Worship
After purifying your hands, first pay your respects to the principal image of the temple, and then to the principal image of the sacred site.
For chanting, please use the chanting order (gongyō shidai) included with the official Goshuin Book.
Receiving the Goshuin
After completing your prayers, please proceed to the Goshuin office to receive the sacred site’s full-color Goshuin sheets (a set of two).
First visit: 500 yen
Overlay seal (from the second visit onward): 300 yen
These are full-color Goshuin sheets depicting the principal image of each temple, simply inscribed with a single calligraphic character representing each deity.
The Goshuin you collect are to be bound into the official Goshuin Book.
The first sheet can be fully viewed even when bound into the book.
The second sheet is intended for collecting overlay seals. (From the second visit onward, the Goshuin offering is 300 yen.)
Those who receive a Goshuin (temple inscription) in the official Goshuin Book will be presented with one full-color O-mie (sacred portrait slip).
For those who have the official Goshuin Book (binder format), O-mie mounting sheets that can be bound into the book are available for an offering of 100 yen per sheet.
(One mounting sheet is included for those who newly purchase the official Goshuin Book.)
In addition, beginning in March 2026, a new Goshuin shikishi (calligraphy board) has been introduced.
There are two versions available: one featuring the painted principal image (Buddhist painting) and the other featuring the sculpted principal image (Buddhist statue).
For both versions:
Shikishi (calligraphy board): 1,000 yen
Goshuin inscription fee: 500 yen
Please note: O-mie (sacred portrait slips) are not included with Goshuin on shikishi.
Once your Goshuin has been completed, we would be delighted if you display it in a shikishi frame or as a hanging scroll (shikishi kakejiku).
