Tips from locals
This old-style tea shop sells the best Japanese tea in Kyoto. Its matcha makes an excellent and lightweight souvenir. Try a 40g container of wa-no-mukashi (meaning ‘old-time Japan’) for ¥1600, which makes 25 cups of excellent green tea. Ippōdō is north of the city hall, on Teramachi-dōri. It has an adjoining teahouse (open 11am to 5.30pm).
Ippodo sells high-quality tea. Distance: 6 minutes' walk Opening hours: 9:00~18:00
