A drive and a trip to Kyoto! Driving is fun, but one of the worries when traveling by car is whether there is a parking lot or not.
This time, I would like to introduce 6 souvenir shops in Kyoto with parking lots.
【1】Honke Nishio Yatsuhashi Main Store / Kiyomizu Store

One of the famous places for the staple Kyoto souvenir “Yatsuhashi” is “Honke Nishio Yatsuhashi”.
Especially the main store, which is away from the tourist spots, has a parking lot and you can shop at your leisure.
At “Honke Nishio Yatsuhashi”, in addition to the standard cinnamon flavor, there are a variety of flavors such as blueberry and chocolate. The atmosphere of the store itself is very good, and there is a restaurant next door, so it is perfect for lunch.

“Otabe” handles popular products such as “Nama Yatsuhashi” and “Kyobam”. At the main building near the National Route Jujo intersection, they hold a handmade class for Nama Yatsuhashi in the attached factory.
The handmade Nama Yatsuhashi and the tour of the manufacturing process are experiences that can only be done here! It’s a recommended spot for families with children who came by car.
In addition to the main building parking lot (10 cars) next to the main building, if it is full, there is another first parking lot (10 cars) nearby. The road width is a bit narrow, but it is helpful to have a dedicated free parking lot.

The representative of Kyoto popular souvenirs, “Ajari Mochi (Ajari Mochi)” shop “Full Moon”.
The signboard product “Ajari Mochi” is very popular and may be sold out in the morning. If you have a car, you should buy it first thing in the morning according to the opening hours. (There is a parking lot in front of the store for about 5 cars.)
Both the exterior and the interior have a very nice atmosphere, and you can enjoy the Kyoto-like atmosphere.

Perfect match with rice! “Sugukizami” and “Shibazuke” are popular and have been featured in the media. If you want these, go to “Doi Shibazuke Honten”.
The main store, which has a dedicated parking lot, is ideal for going by car. It has a large parking lot that can accommodate 80 passenger cars, and the fee is also free.
There are various pickles in the store, and many of them can be tasted, so it’s nice to be able to eat and buy delicious ones.

A very stylish Danish shop. The signboard product “Marble Danish” is a flavorful Danish with a texture that can be enjoyed, combined with chocolate and cinnamon.
Especially “Marble Danish Kyoto Three Colors” has a stylish and unique appearance. It is a colorful Danish that mixes the dough of “Gion Tsujiri” matcha and refreshing sweet and sour strawberries, and plain.
There is a negotiation space for customers who want to buy Grand Marble gift products on the second floor of the headquarters, and it is also ideal for formal sououvenirs. Of course, general customers can also purchase Danish from one piece. It’s safe to have a dedicated parking lot.

- Business Hours:6:00 ~ 24:00 (West 1st Parking Lot) / 24 hours (West 2nd Parking Lot, East 1st Parking Lot)
The souvenir shop with a parking lot that is sure to come here is the well-known Kyoto Station. If you use “JR Isetan Kyoto” directly connected to Kyoto Station, you can use the Kyoto Station Building parking lot.
If you purchase a total of 5,000 yen or more (including tax), the parking fee will be free for 2 hours. (Normally 6:00 to 24:00 is 600 yen for the first hour, and 300 yen per 30 minutes after that)
If you plan to buy in bulk at “JR Isetan Kyoto”, the Kyoto Station Building parking lot is wide, convenient, and recommended.
Summary
Above, I introduced 6 souvenir shops in Kyoto with parking lots.
There are few souvenir shops with parking lots, and I think that you often park temporarily in coin parking lots near tourist spots.
The shops introduced this time are all famous shops where you can buy popular Kyoto souvenirs and have a parking lot. Because it’s a car, you can buy in bulk, and you can sightsee without being bound by the time of buses and trains.
Please try to refer to it when choosing a souvenir shop.
