If you're a lover of more eccentric things or have a free spirit, this is the perfect shop for you. Cayhane stands out from the other shops on the street and will catch your eye with objects of desire from different parts of the world. It is an Aladdin's cave of treasures, from trinkets to hanging elephants and dream catchers, perfect as jewelry, clothing or decorating your home.

For the uninitiated, Kyoto has had a long and historical link with central Asia. From the days of the Silk Road, treasures like carpets and textiles were brought to the ancient capital, adored by townsfolk who decorated the Gion Festival floats with such items.

Positive vibrations are guaranteed here, so give this treasure house a visit.
