Child shopping in Kansai

  1. A

    Tanakaya

    Tanakaya is one of the best places in Kyoto to buy kyō-ningyō. In addition to the full range of kyō-ningyō, the shop sells display stands and screens, Japanese traditional shell game pieces and miniature Gion Matsuri floats. It occupies a wide stretch of Shijō-dōri and is easy to spot by its dolls in the window.
