Kyoto (and Oyama) Photo Stores

[Renato Tonelli]

I will be visiting Kyoto and Oyama (Japan) in early June and would like some information on any photo store that carries B&W paper, sheet film. I am curious to see if i can pick up some things that are not exported to the US. Thanks in advance.

Bic Camera and Yodobashi Camera are the two big chains in Japan, I think both have stores in Kyoto. The Bic store in Nagoya next to the train station had (last October) a great stock of MF and 35mm film and accessories in the basement floor. I didn't check out the paper side. Many familiar Kodak and Fuji products had slightly different names, there were also some Fuji films and chemistry that are not sold in the US.

Bic Camera in Kyoto is at the Kyoto JR train station. It's in the same building, so you can't miss it.
