Maisendo Gion Store, a direct retail store of "Maisendo," manufactures and sells innovative fans. Located on Shijo Street in Gion, it offers a taste of Kyoto's atmosphere and is easily accessible for tourists. The first floor sells various fans and Japanese-style souvenirs, while the second floor hosts fan painting experiences (reservation required).

The store offers a wide range of fans, including stylish summer fans, elegant dance fans, and decorative fans for home display. From functional to highly decorative, there is a fan for every taste. They also offer a paid service to personalize fans with names, making them a popular choice for gifts and souvenirs.

The fan painting experience comes in two types: "Full Customization" and "Simple Customization." The full customization experience involves drawing and painting the fan yourself, which is then finished by a craftsman and shipped to you about two months later (additional shipping fee required). The simple customization allows you to paint directly on a pre-finished fan and take it home the same day (for groups of 10 or more, fans are shipped the next day).
