A
Kyoto-Kimono Plaza
This is one of Kyoto’s more approachable kimono shops. As with other shops specialising in new kimono and kimono fabrics, prices are not cheap, but the quality is high. You can be measured for a custom kimono here and the shop will post it to your home.

Teramachi Club
Used kimono and obi are only the beginning at this interesting little antique shop. Prices are on the high side but it usually has some interesting items. It’s only a little bit further north than the famous Ippo-dō tea shop.

Shikunshi
In a wonderful old machiya (traditional Japanese town house) on Shijō-dōri, east of Nishinotōin-dōri, this shop sells a variety of kimono. Have a look at the small shop in the restored warehouse at the back.

This shop has an abundance of high-quality used kimono and obi. The prices are a bit on the high side. It’s on the corner with the name of the shop written in English in small letters on the door.

Art Factory
A T-shirt with your name written in kanji, katakana or hiragana across the chest is a great souvenir, and this place can make them in just a few minutes. If you don't fancy your own name on the shirt, you can also get the name of your country or choose from a variety of Japanese words and slogans. Look for the T-shirts displayed outside (strangely, there is no sign in English or Japanese, but they call themselves 'Art Factory').
