About Kyoto Nishijinjiki Kaikan
In the Nishijin-ori Kaikan, you will find demonstrations of Nishijin-ori weaving and historical information, as well as displays and sales of Nishijin-ori ties, shawls and bags. You can also visit the hand-weaving class and try your hand at weaving Nishijin-ori on a machine. Or you can rent a kimono and experience Japanese culture for yourself. There is also a selection of traditional Japanese maiko and geisha costumes, and even the luxurious twelve monokinis of Japanese brides. You can enjoy a “nostalgic costume experience” and a tour of the city in a gorgeous kimono. Depending on the climate, summer kimonos are also available for the summer months. If you have the chance to visit, we recommend that you put on a kimono and take a photo of the precious nishijin-ori woven with luxurious silk threads.
