1URBAN RESEARCH KYOTO
This fashionable clothing store is in the corner where Nishiki Market joins Teramachi Shopping Street, and it is popular among young Japanese people in their 20’s and 30’s.
The first floor is for men, and the second one for women, so even couples can enjoy shopping here.
There are even some things you can only buy at this shop.

And the pancakes at Shin-Setsu are brought to your table on hot steel plates, so you can enjoy freshly made, piping hot pancake! For me, the hot pancakes always feel like they taste so much better! Weird, isn’t it?
The café looks cute, and I’m sure all of us girls will just go awwww at it!
2TEO KAFON
If you want to take a break from shopping, Teo Kafon is the best place for that! Teo Kafon is on a small alley by Shinkyogoku Shopping Street, and it is famous for matcha sweets.
The one everyone is focusing on is this plate of matcha sweets! It has five different matcha sweets, and all of them are handmade.
The éclair is especially popular. There is a lot of matcha cream inside of it, and it is something matcha fans cannot leave untasted. They also offer lunch, so this may be a good restaurant to go to for lunch also.
1mumokuteki goods &wears
First, I want to introduce this shop, mumokuteki goods & wears! This shop is the mumokuteki café I just told you about.
The concept of this shop is “Good for the body, good for the environment.” They sell all kinds of things from natural candy and seasonings to Kyoto’s traditional crafts and cute clothes and bags; they even sell plants!
The café is on the second floor, and although it is very popular and you often have to wait, you can browse the shop downstairs while you wait.
2Kanzashiya Wargo
Buying a kanzashi, a traditional Japanese hair ornament, as a souvenir is something very cool also. The kanzashi specialty shop Kanzashiya Wargo on Shinkyogoku Shopping Street is the biggest one in Japan, selling around 20,000 hair ornaments in a month.
Many girls go to Wargo to get their cute kanzashi. This is a souvenir bound to make all girls happy.
How about this shopping course with many charming shops? The Teramachi and Shinkyogoku shopping streets are always changing, and there are always new shops, so no matter when you go, there is always something new to enjoy.
