Shoyeido Kyoto main store
The Shoyeido Kyoto main store is located at the south side of the Kyoto Imperial Palace in the sukiya-style building. The store was renovated in July 2018 at the same time as opening "Kunjyukan," a center for Japanese fragrance culture.
I visited the store on the advice of a tour guide. It was a great experience. The store has many different scents available as well as a nice assortment of accessories. The staff member who took care of us was wonderful and helped me make good choices about gifts for friends as well as a few treats for myself. I wish I could compliment the staff member directly but she would not give me her name. She seemed to be embarrassed to be singled out. Highly recommend.
