Traditional Japanese Paper Awaits at Kami no Ondo

Just a few minutes’ walk from Atsuta Shrine, Kami no Ondo is a shop well known among Japanese people, yet still relatively undiscovered by international visitors.
Inside, you’ll find an astonishing variety of handmade washi paper, with countless colors, textures, and patterns to explore.

The shop offers many uniquely Japanese paper items, such as decorative envelopes for New Year’s money gifts, scented sachets, calligraphy paper, and beautifully designed wrapping paper. You’ll also find seasonal Japanese ornaments, making it easy to enjoy traditional culture simply by browsing.

As a local myself, I visit this shop every season, and each time I discover something new that makes me linger longer than I planned.

For travelers looking for something truly Japanese—something crafted with care and tradition—Kami no Ondo is a charming spot that sparks curiosity and creativity.
