Anime guide to Kyoto
Kyoto has fewer anime shops than Tokyo or Osaka, but they sit on routes you will walk anyway: downtown Shijo, and the slopes up to Kiyomizu-dera.

Shijo (downtown)
Pokémon Center Kyoto is in SUINA Muromachi near Shijo-Karasuma. Around Shijo-Kawaramachi, a 10 to 15 minute walk east, are the Disney Store and Kiddy Land.
