Great tour guide!

Momo was a very knowledgeable and thoughtful tour guide. We truly enjoyed spending time with her and learned a lot about fabrics and the different options in shops in Nippori. She even followed up with more information after. I highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you so much for your fabulous review. I'm so happy to know you two enjoyed the town a lot. Actually, your timing was great with the Spring sale going on! Hope you would create wonderful works with the fabrics you got at Nippori.
Fabulous tour of Nippori fabric district
Mary_M, Jul 2023
This tour was fabulous and a must for anyone who sews or just wants to appreciate a different part of Tokyo culture. Momo is a wonderful and patient tour guide who explains the history of the fabric district, the character of each store, and helps out with every transaction. (And I made a lot of transactions!). We visited stores specializing in dress fabrics and notions, but there are shops dedicated to leather, home fabrics and anything you could imagine related to sewing. Definitely walking involved as the district is about 1 km long with shops on both sides. It’s an easy train ride from anywhere in Tokyo on the Yamanote line. There are cafes nearby for much needed refreshment after your tour. I’m already wishing for another visit!

Thank you so much for your excellent review. I'm just happy that I could be of your help. I was so impressed with way you picked out wonderful fabrics from the large selection of products. Yes, you should come visit Japan again sometime. Nippori always welcome you!
Fantastic tour
Susan_K, May 2023
Fantastic tour! Would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in textiles, craft and sewing. Momo, the delightful guide, has an extensive knowledge of the Nippori district, its history and the amazing range of materials available at each store. She was extremely helpful providing useful and informative advice for shopping in the district. Thank you Momo for a wonderful day finding lots of bargins in Nippori.
Response from Host, May 2023
