What comes to mind when you think of Kyoto?
You may think about "Maiko-san"(apprentice geisha). Maiko is very beautiful, isn't she?

A secret of their beauty may be their beauty items.

In this article, we would like to introduce "Kyoto beauty items" beloved by Maiko.

Yojiya  Gion store

You can see the impressive signboard of "Yogi and Gion store" if you cross the bridge and walk for a while on the right side of Minami-za from Kawaramachi station on Hankyu line.
It is located close to Yasaka Shrine, Kenninji temple, and Hanami Koji street, so you can easily go there while you are sightseeing.

Yjiya Gion store, oil blotting paper

Yojiya's specialty is oil blotting paper.
The special paper is beloved and called "Orihiya paper" among women of social elites for a long time.
It is skin-friendly paper and has excellent absorbency. You cannot stop using it once you try it.
The design of the package is also nice for souvenirs.

Yojiya Gion store, hand cream

"Hando Creamu"(hand cream) is also one of the popular items.
It gently covers the skin and moisturises the inside as well as the outside.
Skincare is really important for Kyoto beauties such as Maiko.
