I visited the Nippori Fabric Town last month. Despite having a cold, being an avid seamstress, I dragged myself out of my warm and cozy hotel room and set off to see it for myself. Fabric Town is based mainly around one long street (and side streets)with shops on either side selling all things to do with fabrics and sewing...a little piece of heaven for people like me. I wandered from shop to shop, buying pieces of leather and the types of findings or haberdashery I couldn't usually find at home. Of course I found the shops with the gorgeous Japanese prints which is where all my resolve to not go home overloaded simply fell apart. The prices were great. I bought two metre lengths of cotton prints for Y10,000 - about $17NZD -. I also found there the doorway hangings that you see in front of restaurants, added a pair to the bag. But then....I happened across a narrow store that sold used Yakuta, Kimono and so on. I came out with a man's indigo dyed, silk robe in new condition for Y2,000 - a remarkable find! So if you're passionate about fabrics and crafting I fully recommend you try fabric town. Its less than 100m to the beginning of the street from Nippori station. I went on a weekday around 1.00pm and avoided the train "crush" and the overly busy period in Fabric Town.
