Bought a few items that I love :)
Cute handmade ceramic Saké sets
The prices on items vary a lot in here. Some are very reasonable and some are far more expensive. Good range of items but some seem to have a large mark up : BUT I didn’t investigate that much; they may be made with significantly better materials. I still recommend.

Souvenir shop with all the typical items you would expect from a tourist shop with typical Japanese and Asian themed products aimed at tourists.

I was wanting a kimono for Halloween. I decided to come to this place to get myself a kimono, but when I asked them they did show me how to really do it which subtract one star, they just told me to tie it like one of the design. They are still really nice but if your going to have to tell them to help you wear it so you will know how to wear it.

All I did was play with the katana umbrella for like 1 second and swung it small at my girlfriend, then was holding it for about a min. Store worker came over and aggressively told me to put it down. Frightened by her demeanor, I froze and she took the umbrella from my hands and put it back in the bucket. I wasn't even swinging it like demon slayer tanjiro water breathing third form flowing dance. I legit just did a mild swing and that was it. Started looking at the price tag in consideration of buying it. Even after that, I wasn't in the mood to look at anymore of their crap. Even then, my girlfriend was looking around and that worker/owner whatever kept looking at my girlfriend's every move. Kinda ruined my vibe for the night. They got some decent stuff but rude as hell. Honestly found a cheaper one online, and glad that happened. Just compare prices online compared with the stuff being sold at this rude store. The lady is comparable to the high class demons in demon slayer.

We went to this store yesterday. The lady at the register was so rude... she doesn't know how to treat costumers. I live in the area...because of the nasty attitude we didn't buy anything. Cero stars to this place. She grabbed the clothes from us so bad!

I really love this store because it has a lot of good souvenirs from Japan. But thing made me disappointed about this store that they sell a fake omamori (blue one). Every omamori has the name of temple on the back, but when I use the google translate it doesn’t show me where is the temple. The word on the omamori is Chinese, not Japanese. I compare it with the one (yellow one) I bought in the Koyasan Temple nearby it. Behind the omamori of Koyasan Temple has the temple name. Inside of the fake omamori is the piece paper with no meaning. I don’t know why they sell the fake omamori like this and write it as a real omamori. This will cause tourists like me to lose faith in Japanese culture because Japanese people are known for being honest. I don't think they can lie with such a spiritual item. They sell the fake omamori and more expensive than the reality. This fake omamori actually cost $5. So disappointed about this I hope the store can explain for me about this.

Beautiful store with a gorgeous selection of kimono, yukata, zori, hairpins and more. They really help you get the best experience at whatever price is good for you. They helped me learn how to tie an obi sash and were very patient with me learning. Friendly staff and reasonable prices when you take into account the work and care that goes with these products. Would reccomend to anyone that wants a kimono and loves Japanese culture

I went to buy a yukata here, and everyone here was incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive. They helped me pick it one that fits my stature, gave me the full rundown on how to put it on, and care instructions. I never felt belittled. In fact, I felt more confident afterwards! It was such a fun and educational experience. I can't wait to wear the yukata at the next Japanese Festival I go to!
