    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Higashiyama-ku Takabatakechou 602
    Ichizawa Shinzaburo Hanpu was originally founded in 1905 as Ichizawa Hanpu, a store which made and sold canvas goods. Located to the north of Yasaka Shrine at the intersection of Chion-in-michi and Higashi Oji-dori Avenue, the shop is the only one operated by the Ichizawa Shinzaburo Hanpu company. The shop’s mode is “made in Kyoto, sold in Kyoto.” The cutting, shaping, sewing, and attachment of the metal fittings of the shop’s bags, backpacks, lifestyle goods, and other canvas products are all done one by one by the hands of craftspeople. Except for occasional limited time pop-up stalls, this is the only place you can buy Ichizawa Shinzaburo Hanpu products.

    This scent specialty shop is on the Gion shopping streets. This shop's history is unusual among the many incense shops of Kyoto, having been originally focused on making Heart Sutras for the Jodo sect of Buddhism. In addition to their current scent trade, they still make Heart Sutras for Chion-in temple purveyance. Their compiling techniques have been passed down for generations, and they result in scents that are perfect for creating islands of peace in the stress of modern life. Their scented sachets, with colorful butterfly and flower patters are popular with young women as well. The floral scented Tsukimachi-gumo, based on rose-style aromas, also use aromatic woods like Indian sandalwood for relaxed scents that aren't too sweet.

    祇園にある和装屋です。『ザ・京都』風のお土産を購入されるにはよいでしょう。ただし、接客は最低‼︎です。京都一の繁華街にあり、黙っていても商売が成り立つので、接客などどうでも良いのでしょう。レジ打ちの眼鏡の貴女、祇園で、一目でブランドの判るネックレスは下品ですよ。

Kyoto Areas

around-area-map

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
