This year, the start of July has us eagerly awaiting the end of the rainy season, but the season of full-scale summer is just around the corner! Some temples and shrines in Mie Prefecture are distributing "July-only Goshuin" (red seals of the temple that change every month), and many people visit to pray in search of these monthly Goshuin.
We will introduce temples and shrines where you can receive goshuin stamps designed with summery motifs, such as the Tanabata event on July 7th, summer flowers such as sunflowers and morning glories, and wind chimes swaying in the breeze.
Why not visit a temple or shrine to show your gratitude and receive a July-only goshuin stamp?
