Use cases

Passports for real places — and the people who make them.

The same simple idea — earn a stamp where you actually go — put to work by curious travelers and by the institutions that bring places to life.

For travelers & the curious

Keep a record of where you actually went.

Personal travel journal

Stamp where you go and keep private notes, voice memos, and photos tied to the place and the day.

Follow a local's passport

Pick up a passport made by someone who knows the area and earn its stamps at the real stops.

Day trips & regional adventures

Turn a free afternoon into a route worth finishing — nearby stops, verified as you arrive.

Family outings

A low-stakes way to get everyone out the door — each stop is a stamp the kids actually earn.

For libraries

Send patrons out, bring them back with something to keep.

  • Summer reading programs — Run summer reading as a stamp passport across branches and partner stops.
  • Community discovery — Point patrons toward real places in town and reward the ones who actually go.
For schools & teachers

Tie learning to the places it happened.

Field-trip passports

Give every student a passport for the trip — stamps are earned on arrival, not on paper.

Place-based learning

Anchor a lesson to a real location and let students journal what they noticed there.

Ranger & docent notes

A note from a ranger or docent is kept in the child's passport as part of the record.

For parks & public lands

Trails worth finishing, with nothing to print.

  • Trail passports — Lay out a trail or park circuit as stops collectors stamp as they go.
  • Visitor engagement — Verified-presence engagement with no paper to print, lose, or fake.
For museums & cultural sites

Guide visitors through, site by site.

Exhibit circuits

Lead visitors through a sequence of stops with verified completion at each.

Multi-site heritage trails

Link related sites into one passport that ties a region's story together.

For towns, chambers & civic partners

Move people between the places worth their time.

Shop & explore passports

Downtown "shop & explore" passports that move foot traffic between real businesses.

Tourism & wayfinding

Point visitors to the places that reward the trip and let them keep the record.

Community events

Run an event as a passport — stops, stamps, and a keepsake when it's done.

What makes okuji different

Real presence. Honest data. Yours to keep.

The same things that make a passport feel real to a collector make the data trustworthy for an operator.

Verified presence

A stamp is earned at the real place, GPS-checked the moment it's collected — not a tap from the couch.

Real completion data

See how many arrived and finished — aggregate counts and timing, never who.

Privacy-respecting

No background location, no ads, no data sale. Location is read only at the moment of a stamp.

A permanent keepsake

A finished passport — stamps, notes, dates — is the collector's to keep, not a feed that scrolls away.

Verified presence · real completion data · privacy-respecting · a permanent keepsake.
