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.

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!
