So I was in Otaru, Hokkaido the other day and when I went to the main post office I noticed that they had a chart of all the fukei-in cancellations available in the area. It was right on the counter and I asked if I could photograph it, which they allowed. I just wish every major city had a chart like this, it would be really useful in finding out which fukei-in have been discontinued, or replaced, or if there are any missing ones from the lists out there:

I’ll be working on the Okinawa portion of my map next! This cancellation appears to be from 1991, which is why it’s not on the JP Post website (they only show more recent cancellations created after 2005).

Ooohh, I didn’t know that so many post offices have them! And I didn’t know what these cancellation stamps were called! Thank you for sharing the locations and how they look.
On my last trip, I found out that central post offices or those adjacent to central stations have fukei-in. But I definitely will keep in mind that there are many beautiful cancellation stamps for future travels.
Here are three fukei-in I have found:

These are great!
Just an update on the map - I’m almost finished!!! I had hoped to finish by the end of August, and that still may be possible, but I think it can be done by early September - all regions are done except Kyushu and Shikoku, and I’m about halfway through Kyushu right now. I don’t think Shikoku will take very long either.
That said, once the map is officially done, I’ll then go through the posts on Postcrossing looking for cancels that I don’t have on the official map, as there are still a lot missing, but I have no idea where to find them.
Then, of course, will be keeping up with new additions and removing discontinued ones as JP Post updates it’s website. I hope to do that on a monthly basis, but we’ll see how it goes.

Hello Rachelle,
I just got the confirmation that the fukei-in offered by Hanamaki Onsen Post Office has nothing to do with Kenji Miyazawa. I meant this one:
Here is a clear picture of the cancel:
This is the information sheet the PO sent me together with my cancelled item:
Instead, it depicts the deer dance (鹿踊り / ししおどり) at Kamabuchi Falls and the landscape around Hanamaki Onsen.
The information you got from other source(s) was wrongly attributed. The wrong description seems to describe this cancel better:
The information sheet I received this time and last time from Obihiro makes me think that Japan Post’s postal clerks do have access to some sort of ‘official’ information about their fukei-in. It’s just that this gigantic database has not been digitalised / centralised in one place?
