Lately, collecting Goshuin (ご朱印) is in among young people. Long queues of ladies are often seen in front of the receptions of shrines and temples.

A seal of camellia is on Goshuin of Reikanji (霊鑑寺), known as a temple of camellia flowers.

This is Goshuin of Chio-in (知恩院) with stamp of Mitsuba-aoi (三つ葉葵, three leaves of hollyhock), which indicates the Tokugawa (徳川) clan.

YUMEYAKATA Gojo Information Center offers various kinds of Goshuin-cho (ご朱印帳, Goshuin notebook). Isn't it a nice idea to collect Goshuin for the memory of your stay in Kyoto?
