The theme is "The Sounds of Nishijin Weaving." Visiting Nishijin's weaving artisans, we experience the culture of Nishijin in a Kyoto machiya that has been a kimono merchant's home since the Meiji era. At Tomitaya, once a prosperous kimono merchant and now preserved as the Nishijin Lifestyle Museum, visitors can try on a Nishijin-woven kimono, enjoy tea while dressed in traditional attire, and fully immerse themselves in the elegance of Kyoto.
