The 1663 original — washi, incense and calligraphy in the Teramachi covered arcade, freshly renovated.
Fuyacho (Nakagyo)
Stop 3Stop 3: Kamiji Kakimoto (Fuyacho)
One of Kyoto's two great washi houses — handmade papers in a machiya on Fuyacho.

The other great Kyoto paper house — a vast handmade washi selection; the classic pairing with Kamiji Kakimoto.
Kawaramachi-Sanjo (Nakagyo)
Stop 5Stop 5: Angers (Kyoto flagship)
A Kyoto-born design house over three floors with a ground-floor stationery department — the modern downtown stop.
Hours drift — verify before visiting.
