This shop is filled with tea cups, bamboo tea spoons and implements, tea canisters, tea, etc. Everything needed to have a tea party!!
What to buy: Buy the tea canisters! They are the cheapest I have seen in Japan. They start at 350 yen. Buy the ones covered with Japanese paper or tatami. The largest ones of these two kinds are only 500 yen! What a deal!
Be careful not the wet the outside of the ones covered w/ Japanese paper. Once you wet it, the paper gets a bit sticky and it`s not as beautiful anymore.

A lot of fresh and packed food shops, surounded by several blocks with clothes, electronics, shoes and many more shops
What to buy: Anything! (Fruit is a little expensive, but seafood is very affordable)
What to pay: Depends on your eating preferences :)
If just looking for some street food, only a few hundred yens per person.

You would normally need to go the museum to get a postcard of the art on display there. At this shop most of them are here.
What to pay: Pay about 100Yen or less per card.

Total by accident we found this unique and special food shop with all sort of local typical items that some of them I had no idea what they were, but if you curious maybe it is worth to try some.

One of the main area's for souvenirs shopping is in Kyomizuzaka street on the way to/from the temples there. That is the most touristic place and maybe also most expensive.

Nice new shopping center that offers a variety of stores and restaurants. Not overly large and easy to get to. Put on shows several times a week.

You can find antiques and new stuff at To-ji Markets. I even saw an old still-working grammaphone next to antique buddhist statues (which were worth thousands of dollars!).

What to buy: In Kyoto, there is a lot of pottery with beautiful or simple patterns. A Japanese teapot and tea cups makes a lovely gift or souviner to bring home.
