Nishijin Textile Culture and Life

Nishijin is a textile production center representing Kyoto, where many weaving mills (hataya) still operate in a town that blends work and residence. Walking through alleys where the sound of looms echoes, you can experience Kyoto's way of life lived alongside traditional craftsmanship. At the Nishijin Textile Hall, you can also try weaving, and cafes and galleries renovated from traditional townhouses are increasing.
