Goshuin, meaning ‘honorable red seal,’ originated centuries ago as proof of temple visits and evolved into beautiful calligraphic art combined with unique temple seals.
After completing your book, savor coffee carefully roasted by the café owner or a soft drink, paired with a traditional monaka sweet. As you relax, enjoy stories from the owner about Kamakura’s history and culture.
Then, take your handmade Goshuin stamp book and explore a nearby famous Hokokuji temple, known as the bamboo temple, and collect an authentic Goshuin stamp—reflections of centuries-old devotion and artistry. At the temple, you can also enjoy matcha at the traditional tea house there.

The Best Tour to Enjoy Authentic Kamakura

5.00Great tour indeed! Mr. Yamada, the tour guide, is very knowledgeable polite, and kind. He escorted me to a cozy cafe named Bambu Bambu in a traditional Japanese house with beautiful Japanese and foreign antique furniture and tableware. In such a beautiful ambiance, a very experienced and generous instructor taught me to make a Goshuin-cho, a booklet to receive beautiful hand-written calligraphy mementos from temples and shrines we visit. Making my own one-and-only-in-the-world Goshuin-cho booklet is a thrilling experience! After I made it, I enjoyed Bambu Bambu's aromatic coffee with a state-of-the-art delicious Japanese sweets named monaka which is made of a crispy outer rayer from Kyoto and tasty anko (sweet red beans paste) from Kamakura. The tour then proceeds to Hokoku-ji Temple (also known as the Temple of Bamboo Forest) where Japanese matcha tea is served. Among various tours offered in Kamakura, this is truly the best opportunity to enjoy authentic Japanese culture. Highly recommended to everyone who visit Kamakura. Please don't miss this great tour:-)
