Goshuin Atlas helps you find temples and shrines in Japan, learn what makes each place special, and keep track of the goshuin and visits that matter to you. Some places are famous: Sensō-ji, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera, Meiji Jingu. Others are tiny neighborhood shrines you notice only because you took the slower street. Goshuin Atlas is built for both.

It is tied to a place, a date, a prayer, and often a very specific memory. * Check whether a temple or shrine offers goshuin before you go * View goshuin images, prices, and where-to-get details when available * Learn about deities, temple history, buildings, and etiquette * Add visits, photos, and notes to your own record * Keep your goshuin collection organized as it grows SEE WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS DISCOVERING Goshuin collecting can be quiet and personal, but it is also easier to learn when real people share what they found. * See recent check-ins, photos, walks, and collection updates * Follow collectors and travellers whose activity helps you discover new places * Share your own temple visits when you want to * Find inspiration from people exploring Japan in different ways RECORD WALKS WITH IPHONE AND APPLE WATCH For shrine walks, temple days, and pilgrimage routes, Goshuin Atlas can help you remember more than the destination. * Record walks from your iPhone * Use Apple Watch to track walks while you explore * Save distance, duration, route, and temple check-ins * Keep walks private or share them with the community * Review your walk history from your profile DISCOVER PILGRIMAGE ROUTES Whether you are following a traditional pilgrimage or building a simple day plan, Goshuin Atlas gives you more context around the places on the route. * Browse temples connected to major pilgrimage routes * Explore regional sacred paths in Kyoto, Nara, Shikoku, and other areas * Use favourites, recent places, and maps to plan what to visit next * Learn which temples belong to the same route or tradition BUILT FOR REAL DAYS IN JAPAN The app is designed for the way temple visits actually happen: checking the map, deciding what is nearby, finding the entrance, getting the goshuin, and moving on before your train leaves. * Open directions in your preferred maps app * See distance and travel time to nearby temples and shrines * Check transportation, accessibility, amenities, and practical tips where available * Use quick actions and widgets for faster check-ins * Start exploring without an account, then sign in when you want community features GOOD FOR * Goshuin collectors * Japan travel planning * Temple and shrine visits in Kyoto, Tokyo, Nara, and Shikoku * Pilgrimage route discovery * Local exploration in Japan * Travellers interested in Japanese culture, history, and sacred places Goshuin Atlas - discover Japan one temple at a time. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://goshuin.com/privacy
