Welcome to Watada Shoten
Watada Shoten [Watada Eyeglasses Store] opened in 1861, when "Shogun" still ruled Japan. It was seven years before Japan opened the country to the West, for modernization.

Please bring your favorite pair of glasses. We have a large stock of Japanese and European eyeglass frames. We can provide you with a pair that has replaceable lenses, manufactured by Nikon, Hoya, or Seiko. With clear vision, you will feel refreshed, and invigorated. In addition to eyeglasses, we sell the top-of-the-line Hearing Aids. Our Certified Hearing Aid Technicians will assist you to find hearing aids that suit you best. 432-6 Jumonji-cho, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City 604-8121, Japan [Located at the south of the Yanagi-no-banba street and Takoyakushi street intersection, near Shijo Subway Station. ]
