Our main store in Kyoto is where the Ippodo story began in 1717. This shop is located near the old Imperial Palace grounds, on Teramachi Street, which runs north and south through the center of Kyoto.
In the shopping area, customers can browse our wide selection of teas and utensils. Our staff is on hand to answer questions and give personalized recommendations, whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for a gift for someone special.
At the adjacent Kaboku Tearoom, relax for a moment with a bowl of matcha or a pot of tea. We offer a selection of classic teas and seasonal specials, paired with wagashi sweets sourced from local specialists. Each spot in the tearoom has a different feel, and frequent visitors will enjoy how the mood changes each time they enjoy tea with us.
Before leaving, grab some tea-to-go while you explore the area. The store is located in a walkable neighborhood near the Kyoto subway, with parks, boutiques, shrines, and bakeries nearby. We hope a visit to our store and the surrounding area is a wonderful experience, whether it’s your first time or your hundredth.

Tokyo Aoyama Store
2F, 4-23-6 Minamiaoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo 107-0062
Coming Summer 2025
We are excited to announce that we are making preparations to open a new location in Tokyo in the Aoyama district, about 10 minutes from Omotesando Station by foot.
The store will be a destination for learning about and savoring Ippodo tea in the Tokyo area. At the Kaboku tearoom, you’ll find a space to sit and relax with matcha or a cup of tea, just like in our Kyoto Main Store. From time to time, we will host events there, offering you a chance to discover more about Japanese tea. You’ll also be able to purchase teas and teawares there to enjoy at home, with the careful guidance of our expert staff.
The surrounding area is a destination as well. You can grab lunch at a hole-in-the wall soba restaurant, marvel at buildings designed by renowned architects, shop at boutiques of international and Japanese fashion houses, and explore the priceless collection of art and the tranquil garden at the Nezu Museum, all within a 10 minute walk of our new location.
We hope you join us in looking forward to this new store’s opening this summer.
Ippodo Tea New York
From its opening in the spring of 2013, the Ippodo New York Store played a crucial role in connecting so many customers to the joys of Japanese tea, as Ippodo's sole location outside of Japan.
This location closed on September 18th, 2022, but currently we are making preparations to establish a new outpost in New York City. The opening of the new location will be broadly announced on this website and on Ippodo social media accounts. Until then, we eagerly await the day when we can greet you at the new New York Store!
