One of my favorite stops in Kyoto is to drop into the Leica Kyoto store. Located right in the heart of the historic Gion food/entertainment district, the shop in housed in a remodeled historic machiya styled home. Think old wood beams, white plaster walls, sliding shoji doors and then full of the latest Leica cameras and lens. The team there is always helpful and I bought my Leica Q there last June.
Here is Yuko san, she is #1 in the shop for customer service.

Pro Tip: Having a good camera support team is critical for a professional photographer. I continue to support the local Leica shops (vs online purchase) as the relationships built are helpful and fun!
