π‘ Tips for Visitors
Visit traditional craft shops in Kyoto's Gion district or Tokyo's Asakusa for authentic handmade kanzashi. Many specialty stores accept cash only, so bring yen when shopping. Consider purchasing simpler designs as wearable souvenirs, or book a maiko makeover experience to try wearing elaborate kanzashi yourself.
