203 years-old brooms store "Naito Shoten"

203 years-old brooms store "Naito Shoten"

"Naito Shoten" is a store where you can meet beautiful daily necessities. From cleaning brooms to scrubbing brushes, good old products that are easy to use are lined up.

Founded in 1818 in the first year of Bunsei, Sachiko Naito, the 7th generation of Naito Shoten.



This shop, which sells palm brooms and scrubbing brushes at the foot of Sanjo Ohashi, welcomes customers every day.

While convenience stores and coffee chain stores are being built one after another, Naito Shoten's simple store structure remains the same. There has been no sign since the company was founded.

The belief that "if you make good things, customers will come naturally" has been passed down to the head of the family for generations.

As the word suggests, it is not uncommon for tourists who happen to pass by to stop and pick up beautiful tools to attract them.
