On the lovely and always crowded street of Shinkyogoku (one of 2 parallel arcade shopping streets which run between Shijo and Oike) every teddy bear lover will find his/her happiness. I present you Kyo Bear, a shop specializing, as you might have already guessed, in teddy bears.
As we are in Kyoto, it's only natural for local bears to wear kimono :
But not only.. Teddy bears have right to wear any clothes or fur colour they want. As it is for this Titanic Cheeky bear :
.. or green (!) bears :
.. or head-only bears (I don't know about you, but the sight of them makes me a little bit uncomfortable) :
..or even bride & groom bears :
Anyway, if you were planning to do some shopping for your bear, you've come to the right place ^^
