You will find better, more authentic handicrafts elsewhere, but nothing like the variety. This seven-storey emporium stocks everything from lucky charms to kimonos to samurai swords. It also has a decent English-language book section with Kyoto- and Japan-related publications. Buy all your gifts in one swoop, then head elsewhere to pick up the good stuff for yourself.
