Eki Stamp Book: Capture Your Travels with a Cool and Unique Japanese Tradition | Pastel Edition | Travel-Friendly 4x6 Size

Sweet inexpensive book. Good quality.

The design of the book itself is really nice, and printed to a high quality. The first few pages include some quick phrases in Japanese, including ones specific to finding stamps around the tourist spots. The pages may be thin enough for some ink to bleed through, but the book itself advises putting a spare piece of paper behind to protect against this. All in all a great book and probably 10 times cheaper than one you’d buy at a souvenir shop!

Great for stamp collecting in Japan - not all of the shrines were able to add to the book but it's perfect for trains stations and other locations

I like the cover design, which is why I chose this particular one. There are a few phrases in the front which maybe helpful.However, I hadn't realised this was a print on demand item from Amazon and the cover is a matt finish, edges not cut that cleanly and the pages aren't that thick (think ink will bleed through).I will still use it for my trip - maybe by sticking notelets on the back of stamped pages so I can make notes to go with the stamps as I intended.However, I will avoid buying souvenir/scrapbook type books from Amazon in the future as the quality of these print in demand books aren't what I am looking for in these items.
