If you are looking to take nice and original Japanese items home, you must go here. Beautiful handicrafts, art, with some trinkets thrown in. I am so glad we found this place. Great restaurants but must make a reservation

There are two buildings to the center — East and West. West one has swords, jewelry and some very expensive(5,000,000 yen jewelry boxes) the East one has sweets, plates, books. I think it is a cool inspiration point, and of course, if you are a wealthy tourist this place is something you might find useful. For an average traveler while I do enjoy picking up random items for myself and gifts for friends at home this place was too expensive. It was fun to wonder, but I ended up buying the exact same fan on the market by the Inari Gates for 3x less :) Stop by, but did not worth a trip for me.

A great place to buy souvenirs. We came in right before closing time but were still warmly welcomed. You have a lot of options inside, from the postcard to fancy jewelry and expensive katanas. There is a LOT of choice, so you are sure to find two or three perfectly adequate ideas fitting your budget. For example, Japanese pastries, or pouches, or traditional fans or chopsticks… Great service as is almost always the case in Japan. Big shop with various floors. Prices depend on what you buy, but as there is a lot of choice, make sure to compare items. Nice final touch: they give you free Japanese postcards for every purchase.

This place was a lifesaver. As a tourist, the Kyoto Handicraft Store wasn’t a place I had originally planned to stop by. However, running out of Japanese yen and nearby banks being closed on the weekend, I did some research and found that this place had great currency exchange rates with US dollars. Aside from currency exchange, they sell books and crafts. You can also sign up and pay for for Japanese craft lessons.
