Tsubamedou

What a cute name it is! Tsubamedou. Tsubame means swallow, Dou means a hall or shop. This hide-​out is located on an alley when I turned left on lively Shinkyogoku street (near Shijyo street). In the vicinity, Yojiya is located. I knew the existence of Yojiya, (its mascot girl is very outstanding!!), but I missed this shop. Very regrettable!!! I wanted to encounter this shop earlier!!! This shop is just Toshiko’s (a Unilocaler friend of mine) taste.
Wooden signboard, wooden shelves… It has a heartwarming atmosphere. Not only wooden crafts but also accessories, various kinds of mini jams (a little pricy) made of local farm products, stationeries, each one of them is made elaborately, which makes our everyday’s small lives happy.
The elderly male owner stayed in the shop but as he was in the back, I was absorbed in seeing the miscellaneous goods provided. Later he appeared on the shop. He seemed to be shy and suited the atmosphere of this shop well.
I want to keep this shop my secret. Well, let the cat out of the bag for my favorite Unilocalers! But I wish you cherished this shop in your heart.
