   Rakushisha Paper Crafts

   洛紙舎

   A great souvenir shop with some more original and less tacky souvenirs. In particular, for those looking to purchase nice paintings or copies of famous Japanese paintings, this shop offers a variety of paintings on paper that are attractive and more sophistocated-looking than those that you will find along Shijo, near Kiyomizu-dera, and other high-traffic tourist areas. There are also authentic Kyoto-made paper fans. Many of the items in this store are difficult to find elsewhere, so if you're interested, it's best to buy them here.

   Kōbō-san Market

   On the 21st of each month, Tō-ji hosts a large flea market on and around the temple grounds.

If you can manage to get here on the 25th, it's a great place to find unique souvenirs for great prices.

    Kamisoe Paper Shop
