Stamps
Visit the locations below and collect fun stamps and sometimes other treats too!
This project is inspired by the idea of eki stamps, which are free souvenir stamps people collect for fun at train stations, museums, and other destinations while traveling in Japan.
You can receive your stamps on any piece of paper.
If you want to buy the official Top Secret Folder Stamp Book, that would make us very happy. It will be available very soon—stay tuned for details!
The Stamp Book is 5 by 7 inches (adventure size) and will help you keep all your stamps and notes together as you explore the area.
Listings are color coded to the map.
The first batch of stamps is being dropped off over the next week (December 15-21)!
