Hello!
Henn na Hotel is located in front of Kyoto Hachijo Exit Station🦕
A stamp received as proof of visiting shrines and temples.
Collecting these temple stamps has now become a major trend, and in recent years, various unique temple stamps with colorful designs and illustrations have emerged.
And what is attracting attention from the boom in goshuin is the "pilgrimage tour" 🗾
Among the top pilgrimage sites in Japan are the Shikoku 88 Sacred Sites and the Saigoku 33 Kannon Sacred Sites, but are you familiar with the "Rakuoyō 33 Kannon Sacred Sites" that visits 33 deities in Kyoto City?
"Known as the route to visit Kannon, who is said to 'remove people's suffering and sadness and lead them to happiness,' its origins are believed to date back to the Heian period." 😳
The official website of the 33 Kannon Sacred Sites in Rakuyo introduces recommended pilgrimage routes.

Additionally, an official pilgrimage notebook (shuincho) is available for the pilgrimage, and it is also sold at Toji, which is one of the 33 pilgrimage sites near our hotel.
