Tips

  • Use even lighting and avoid glare.
  • Keep the page flat and readable.
  • Avoid including unrelated personal documents or identifiable people in the image.
  • If the goshuin is linked to the wrong temple or shrine, edit the entry or report the mismatch.

Troubleshooting

  • If an uploaded goshuin does not match a place, search by alternate names and nearby cities before leaving it unmatched.
  • If a gallery image or limited goshuin looks outdated, check the associated place page and official source.
  • If sync or sharing does not look right, verify you are signed in and review goshuincho privacy before retrying.

Privacy, accuracy, or availability notes

  • Goshuin availability changes often, especially for seasonal, limited, festival, and handwritten designs.
  • Only share goshuincho entries publicly when you are comfortable exposing the image, visit date, and notes.
  • Respect temples and shrines that restrict photography, resale, or online sharing of goshuin.
