Great places for shopping in Kyoto in November (updated in 2024)

"Record of the late autumn trip to Kansai in November 2019~ Kyoto Takashimaya is located in Shijo Kawaramachi, the most prosperous commercial center in Kyoto. If you want to go shopping, you can go here first~ Takashimaya closes at 7pm, so you have to go shopping early. Big high-end brands are basically in Takashimaya, LV, Chanel, Hermes, Goyard, Loewe, BVL, Cartier, etc. are all concentrated here, so if you want to buy luxury goods in Kyoto, you must come to Takashimaya. If you want to buy trendy brands, you have to go shopping in other places nearby~"

"Record of the late autumn trip to Kansai in November 2019~ In fact, in order not to carry too much luggage, I didn’t have many shopping plans in Kyoto. I planned to shop as much as I could after returning to Osaka. The hotel was too close to Shijo Kawase-cho, so I came here while walking around, haha. The main purpose of coming to Fujii Daimaru was CA4LA. I visited Override at Kyoto Station before. Although the style was also good, when I met CA4LA, everything else was nothing. The design and texture were really great, I loved it. Fujii Daimaru is still very good to visit, with all kinds of trendy brands and good things. The tax refund is on the first floor, and the processing speed is very fast. We walked around until the mall closed at 8pm."

"Came here on June 8, 2013. Kyoto Isetan is located next to Kyoto Station. It is one of the few comprehensive department stores in Kyoto City. It has a rich variety of products and a complete range of business formats. However, perhaps because it is adjacent to the train station, it seems that the people who come here are all in a hurry, which is very different from the customer profile of Takashimaya in the city. The scenery here is better because Kyoto Station itself is a magnificent building. You can take pictures of the Kyoto Tower opposite from the upper floor of Isetan, and get excellent tourist photos."

"I didn't plan to buy anything in the underground shopping street. I walked around and saw a pair of beautiful earrings. Although the price was not cheap, I bought them anyway. Shopping is always fun."

"Record of the 2019.11 Kansai late autumn trip~ After a day of sightseeing, I took a bus to Kyoto Station to go shopping. The Kyoto Station underground street PORTA MALL is a comprehensive shopping mall, with shopping, restaurants, snacks and drinks. It is very friendly for tourists who have just arrived in Kyoto. Food, clothing and daily necessities can be solved immediately. The key is that I mainly came to look at the hats of Override, which are said to be very good, haha."

"Aeon at the south exit of Kyoto Station is not very popular because it is a short distance from the station, but if the B&B is nearby, it would be great. The mall doesn't look big at first glance, but it is still very big after entering. The upstairs are mainly various brand stores. There is also a 100-yen store called Daiso, but I personally recommend the fresh food supermarket here, which is the highest quality near Kyoto Station. There are all kinds of high-quality beef, high quality and good price. You should know that the price of Wagyu near Kyoto is very expensive, but the American steak here is too low in cost performance. If you want to eat American steak, you must go to the countryside. In addition, I bought the legendary Shogoin radish, which is particularly sweet when roasted. A mall worth recommending"

"The Marui Department Store in Kyoto Shijo is considered the busiest shopping street in Kyoto. This intersection between Shijo and Kawaramachi gathers most of the commercial streets in Kyoto, and is also very close to the Kamogawa Bridge in Shijo. In addition to Marui, there are many other shopping malls here, which are very suitable for shopping here. I happened to buy everything in a nearby shopping mall and decided to find something to eat here. The restaurants in Marui are all on the top floor, but they mainly serve fast food. Fortunately, there are not too many people, and there is no need to queue at all on weekday evenings. , I ate at a curry omelette restaurant, and it felt quite average. Sure enough, good restaurants still have to go to high-end places."

"There are many halal in Kyoto Matsumoto, and the business is very good. When you line up, pay attention to two counters, one for locals, and the other for foreigners to apply for tax-free counters."

"There are still a lot of people coming and going here. There are tourists to Kiyomizu Temple along the way. The price here is not cheap. The scenic spot is still very expensive, but it is still very interesting to stroll around."

"The open-air market is only once a week, which is more similar to some Sunday markets abroad. The things sold are very mixed, there are small crafts, food, and play. If it rains on the day of shopping, it will be unhappy."
