โ Hachiman-gu Shinto Shrine, Hakodate - Japan ๐ฏ๐ต โ
What you see on my hand is my very own goshuin, an oversimplified description would be a "journal/book with stamps".
Mine has stamps of the countless shrines and temples that I have visited and paid my respects throughout my travel around Japan in 2019. Goshuin isn't just about collecting stamps, for me it's about a personal and spiritual journey, as a pilgrimage.
This day was magical, super beautiful sunset, amazing light with warm comforting tones, I was fortunate to be there during the spring festivals so I enjoyed the weather, some amazing food and tasty drinks. The rest of the travel was beautiful with unique sights of Japan. I have another post of the same day in Hakodate (because it was so damn good), scroll down my profile and you will find more about the festival itself, have a look!
Would you like to visit Japan someday?
