Electronic shopping in Kyoto

  1. A

    Bic Camera

    This vast new electronics/camera shop is directly connected to Kyoto Station via the Nishinotōin gate; otherwise, it's accessed by leaving the north (Karasuma) gate and walking west. You will be amazed by the sheer amount of goods it has on display. Just be sure that an English operating manual is available. For computer parts, keep in mind that not all items on offer will work with English operating systems.

  2. B

    Camera No Naniwa

    This vast camera/film/electronics emporium is part of a huge low-cost Osaka chain. You can find some great bargains here - they sometimes offer special discounts for travellers - but don't expect much in terms of personal service.

  3. Yodobashi Camera

    A major new rival for the above, this mammoth shop sells a similar range of electronic goods, camera and computer products and also has a restaurant floor, supermarket, bookshop, cafe and, well, the list goes on. It's a few minutes' walk north of Kyoto Station.
