I wanted to post some resources that I used to search for Eki Stamps/Commemorative Stamps, and Goshuin (Temple/Shrine seals) when I visited Japan for the first time in May 2023.
For collecting Eki Stamps, I used this site https://stamp.funakiya.com/ and translated the page to English in Google Chrome. Apparently there’s an English beta page that has recently been added. I like that it describes where exactly to find it: i.e. JR Tokyo Station stamp [Travel Stamp Book] > Tokyo > JR East (Tokyo) > JR Tokyo Station
*Installation information/Difficulty level of stamping*
*Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ (Easy)*
*Location: 1-9-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo*
**Installation location: Outside the JR Tokyo Station Marunouchi south exit ticket**
*[Travel Stamp Book] > Tokyo > Tokyo Monorail > Haneda Airport* *Terminal 2 Station*
*Installation information/Difficulty level of stamping*
*Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ (Easy)*
*Location: 3-4-2 Haneda Airport, Ota-ku, Tokyo*
**Location: Tokyo Monorail Haneda Airport Terminal 2 Station South Exit Ticket Gate (requires request from station staff)**
You can search by region, tourist attraction, roadside station.
I used a Moleskine Art Japanese Album which comes in Large size and Pocketbook size (I used Pocketbook) It opens accordian-style like a goshuincho, and has 165 G/M2 paper so there’s no bleed-through from stamps. [Eki Stamps Album](https://imgur.com/a/bfpwN7A)
For Goshuin seals at temples/shrines, I used two sites translated to English in Google Chrome:
https://omairi.club/ and https://hotokami.jp/area/tokyo/
These list by region all the temples/shrines, and whether they have goshuin or not. They list if they have goshuincho, limited edition goshuin, etc. My small album of goshuin that I started

Hopefully these will help those visiting Japan, to go down the rabbithole of Eki Stamp and Goshuin collecting.
