When you are travelling in Japan, make sure that you don't touch the item displayed. Just look at the item especially if you don't intend to buy at all. Picking the item gives a signal to the store owner that you wanted to buy the item. The store owner immediately takes the item and gift-wrap it! Since you picked up the item, you are assumed to pay for it.
My friend told me that when she was travelling in Japan, she wore sunglasses so the store owner wouldn't see what she is looking at. She learned this trick from her first visit because she was just browsing then and she was expected to buy the item!
As for me, I picked up the item and started looking at it and the owner took it from me and wrapped it! I ended up buying what I was just browsing! At the last day of my visit, I ended up buying too much gifts that I didn't even mean to buy!
There are so many nice things to buy in Kyoto. I love the keychains they have. There are so many choices. I also brought home Kabuki dolls, place mats, potteries, hankerchiefs, curtains and key chains.
Make sure to dismantle the Kabuki stand and wrap it with bubble wrap. Make sure to pad them carefully- otherwise they will break! And, so with the potteries!
The key chains are mostly 500 to 599 yen. The potteries price range depends on which one you are buying. Theme: GiftsAddress: Kyoto, JapanDirections: Most of the temples and shrines have tons of stores!

 Electronics need to have

When you buy an imitation samurai, make sure to get a declaration that what you bought is not a real samurai! There is a government policy in Japan that protects real samurai to get out of their country!
