Eki-stampu

In Japan you can find, at train stations and temples, stamps and ink pads to stamp into your book as a memento of your journey or visit. It is suggested to take your own (red) stamp pad as often the pads are dried out.

See more here (where this image is from) and yet more here. This blog (in Japanese) is completely devoted to eki stamps.

What an interesting concept -- like having your visa stamped when you go to foreign countries!

Actually, I'm surprised those wonderful stamps haven't all been lifted!
