Kinu Koubou (Tomioka Silk Mill store)
A silk shop and studio notable for its purple banner out front standing before the front gate to the Tomioka Silk Mill World Heritage Site. Selling silk stoles and silk cosmetics, the shop is easy to drop by after visiting the Tomioka Silk Mill. The shop’s most popular product is its Tomioka Silk Soap. Demonstrations are provided at the front of the shop so visitors can experience the cream foam the soap produces. Kinu Koubou also provides short classes on silk weaving using tabletop weaving loams; anyone age six and above can join a class. Make your very own silk coaster and a memory that will last a lifetime.
