Search and navigate the site

What this helps you do

Find places, guides, events, goshuin, pilgrimage routes, and account areas without memorizing URLs.
Use breadcrumbs and section navigation to understand where you are.
Decide whether search, a listing page, or the map is the fastest path.

Search is best when you know what you are looking for. Navigation is better when you are still browsing.

Know whether you are searching for a place, a topic, a route, an article, or an account setting.
Use the current site language if you want search labels and page titles to match the interface.

Product surfaces

Use these entry points before following the steps. Links are shown only for static routes that exist in Goshuin.com.

Use the header search for known place names, cities, prefectures, deities, route names, or article topics.
Open the closest result and check the breadcrumb to confirm where you landed.
Use /places when you want a browsable list of temples and shrines.
Use /goshuin when you want to browse goshuin designs rather than places.
Use /map when location matters more than text results.
Use /pilgrimages when you are planning around a route.
Use /settings only after signing in, when you need account preferences.

Capture the header search and main navigation before entering a query.

Add image file: search-and-navigate-the-site-complete

Capture a search result or destination page with breadcrumbs visible.

Try one search term first. Add more detail only if the result list is too broad.
If a place name has multiple spellings, search by city or prefecture as a backup.
Use breadcrumbs to move back up from detail pages to broader collection pages.

If search does not return the place you expected, try /places or /map before assuming the place is missing.
If you land on the wrong place, compare the city, prefecture, and map position before continuing.
If a link asks you to sign in, you are probably trying to access a personal or settings area.

Search and public navigation can reveal public pages only; personal pages require authentication.
Search results and listing pages are discovery aids. Confirm visit-critical details on the place page and official source.
Avoid sharing private account or travel details in public community areas.
