 Nishijin
Textile Center
Nishijin-ori, which is famous throughout the world,
has been woven in the Nishijin area of Kyoto city since
the end of the sixteenth century. It uses silk as its
raw material and is known as one of the highest-grade
textiles in Japan. Not only kimono and obi, but also
neckties, dresses, gowns, tablecloths, and others are
made of Nishijin-ori. You will enjoy a kimono fashion
show, a demonstration of weaving, and displays of Nishijin
silk fabrics.
Kiyomizu Temple
Kiyomizu Temple is one of the oldest temples in Kyoto,
and dates back to the 8th century. The temple is noted
for the unique style of its architecture. Its main hall
stands on a cliff, with a wooden platform in front from
which a panoramic view of Kyoto can be enjoyed. Most
of the present buildings were reconstructed in 1633,
but they reflect the style of the original ones, suggesting
the style of residences of the 8th and 9th centuries.
