Frequently asked
How are these shops chosen?
The shop states its own history on its official page, makes (or has made) what it sells, has a Kyoto shop open to visitors, and shows at least one price. Department-store gift floors, shopping-street souvenir shops and resale platforms are left out.
Can I get tax-free shopping or overseas shipping?
Most of these shops do not say on their own pages whether they offer tax-free sales, so ask at the counter. Where a shop says it ships overseas, the entry says so.
Are the prices current?
Prices are copied from the shop’s official page on the date shown; they can change, and some shops do not publish prices at all.
