Story & Recommendation
Washiclub Kodaiji offers practical accessories made from colorful Japanese paper
This shop is located on the first floor of the shopping district "Rakuichi Nene" in front of the Kodaiji temple. Multi-colored accessories made of Japanese paper are sold here. Many of the accessories here are practical, and are great not only as gifts, but for use in daily life. With its proximity to the “Nene no michi” sightseeing spot, we hope you’ll visit this shop during one of your strolls in Kyoto.

- Shopping Tips -
Washi is strong and durable, but it’s still paper, so it doesn’t take well to water.
