I am off for a short trip to Osaka and Kyoto. Are there any particular shops I should drop into to look for tsuba or other pieces of koshirae?

You might find Tsu da ro  in Gion district in Kyoto - it is both a restaurant and antique shop. Closed Monday and Tuesday open from 13.00 - 18.00 Address is 570-121 Gionmachi minamigawa, Higashiyama-ku Kyoto 605-0074 

http:/www.tsudaro.com   No link to the antques, but I bought two tsuba there a few years ago.

Kuraya Hashimoto just down from Nijojo Mae station on a corner opposite Nijo Castle.

 

408-29 Ikemotocho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-8302, Japan

 

Very friendly family run shop selling Swords and Sword related items.

 

The owner has a good sense of humour and I've found him to be most helpful.
