ごしゅいんはあちらのじゅよしょでうけたまわっております。
We handle *goshuin* at the reception office over there.
Gesture & etiquette
Slight bow, point in the direction of the *juyosho* (reception office).
*Goshuin* are not souvenirs but a proof of visit to a sacred place. Be respectful. Have your *goshuincho* (stamp book) ready and present it with both hands.
