Nishijin-ori Textile Center (Nishijinori Kaiken)
Nishijin-ori Textile Center (Nishijinori Kaiken) Review
The Nishijin district, which still has some old wooden warehouses hugging the canals, hangs on to the artistic thread of traditional Japanese silk weaving. The Nishijin-ori Textile Center is a fascinating place to learn about the weaving industry. Hands-on lessons let you weave your own garment: for ¥1,800 you'll get a great souvenir and the experience is easy and fun. Reserve ahead and you can try on various different kimonos, and even rent one for a night on the town.To get here, take Bus 9, 12, 51, or 59 to the Horikawa-Imadegawa stop.
