All About Nishijin:Local Insights on Area and Attractions
The term “Nishijin-ori” is well established as a symbol of luxury textiles in Japan. However, the name is not yet so much recognized internationally, and the area of Nishijin itself remains relatively unknown. Unlike Kyoto’s more famous districts like Higashiyama or Arashiyama, which are often crowded with tourists, Nishijin still retains a sense of calm. t’s something of a hidden gem—a neighborhood still preserves traces of Kyoto’s quieter, historic side, ideal for seasoned visitors who’ve already explored the usual sights and are looking for a deeper Kyoto experience. I’ll be sharing more about this fascinating area on the blog, so please stay tuned.
