NARA-YAMATO JUNREI Stamp Rally

Normally I don’t include stamp rallies in these sorts of posts because they tend to be short-time events, BUT this one is going on for several years, so it’s definitely worth including.

Pick up a stamp booklet for ¥1,800 (which also includes a wooden temple tag) and then visit 6 locations around Nara to get stamps. When you complete the rally you get a special bracelet made of sacred wooden beads!

Rally dates: March 1, 2023 – March 31, 2026
