Janpara — Local services in Kyoto

I am from Chennai, India. I was having the plan to visit a thrift store in Kyoto and was surfing for the near by thrift stores after and found this shop Janpara and I was not having any clues about this shop, after I found this shop went inside and was coming around the shop for twice to check what all they are selling, and then I choosed two products from apple one is iphone 7 and macbook air 13 (old model).

Their staff was very friendly and explained me each and every thing about that macbook and iphone and its problem what it had after going thru all the basic checks I accepted to buy it I was also asked to check alternate same products but the staff was so calm and polite and he was showing me the macbooks. If you are an foreigner you can show your passport and get 10% off from tax. Entire process of purchase went nice and the quality they are selling at that price is good and I was happy to buy them, not a very big shop but still they have lots of stuff, I also visited Janpara in Akihabra which is bit expensive. If I had a chance to visit Kyoto again 100% I will visit again this shop and will thank the staff for...

Had a sudden laptop breakdown and wanted to continue working without interruption or paying a lot to unknown technique. So I checked 'used computer kyoto' online, found Janpara (Shanpara), biked down teramachi (south of Shijo) 10 minutes before the shop closed. Chromebook seemed to be the fastest (and cheapest) solution, this Lenovo under y10k smiled at me immediately and i left the shop just at closing time. In the meantime the friendly English-speaking agent checked the functions i needed, explained to me all the shop-conditions, and that there is even a 1-month-guarantee for technical problems (while i thought: ''if it does not work, i'll simply try the windows-10 for jpy17k tomorrow). BUT IT WORKS SO WELL and gives me great relief, the CB. All in all: Best, very friendly and very qualified service! Working online while enjoying (and/or sometimes getting jp-annoyed) in Kyoto: South-Teramachi is the place to solve your pc-problem immediately (and, 1.) they seem to offer much more stuff for higher demands than mine [and, 2.) I have no reason to doubt their expertise for that too])....

I was here in March and I never bought any pre-owned electronic goods in the past. But I was amazed by the quality of the product and the transparency they show on the product's history. I bought a tab and a Microsoft surface. Both with tax exemption showing my passport and visa. I would definitely visit again, if I happen to travel in this...
