Exceptional tour and guide! - Excellent tour with an outstanding guide! Momo-san was a delightful guide; knowledgeable about the history of the area and what goods each store offered. She made a great effort to tailor the tour to my interests and sewing style. I was very impressed with Momo-san’s thoughtful communications with me before the tour even took place! Anyone who sews would be foolish to miss out on opportunity to visit Nippori fabric town with Momo-san. I only wish that the tour had lasted all day!

Fantastic and personable service - Momo was very knowledgable in all of the fabrics and the stores which we visited today. She spent the time to get to know me and find out what I was looking for. I bought way too much but the fact is all of the fabric were very beautiful and I can’t wait to sew with them when I return home. Momo was very personable, friendly and even gave me a cultural experience along the way. Thank you so very much Momo I will definitely be referring you to my friends should they visit Japan. I loved the day!

Great tour of Nippori fabric town - Nippori fabric town was a must see for my wife who loves to sew and is also interested in sashiko. MOMO-san has extensive experience of the Nippori fabric town stores and where to go for the various types of fabric and accessories. We wouldn’t have been able to find all the fabrics and other items at such good prices without MOMO-san’s guidance. This included an extensive selection of Liberty fabrics, denim, linen, sashiko, silk, cotton, lace, braid, thread, scissors and many other items. Needless to say I had to buy another bag to fit it all in for the trip home.
There weee some great specialist shops we never would have found on the outskirts of the fabric town. MOMO-san was very patient and made sure we got to see all the shops that had the fabrics and other items from the list we sent her when we booked the tour.
We highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in fabrics and particularly if this is your first visit to Nippori fabric town.

Wonderful fabric town tour. -
We would highly recommend a Nippori fabric tour with Momo-san. Rather than be overwhelmed by all that was available to see, Momo-san was able to tailor our visit to our interests and show us tips we would never have found ourselves. It was such an enjoyable time with Momo-san, as we happily discussed our passions for sewing and crafts, while exploring. 5 stars and more! Thank you again!

MOMO was wonderful! - MOMO was a fantastic guide and very informative about what fabrics were in each store. She helped us in every store from selecting fabric to helping us getting it cut and paying for it.

Great tour and incredibly helpful! - I highly recommend this tour! Momo-San brought me to many shops and explained some of the history and how things are run today. She also tailored the experience to me, and what I was looking for. She provided me with enough information, so that I could return to the shops on my own, if I want to. I was very happy to have her there to help me with purchases, since my Japanese is VERY limited. Because she also sews, she was able to help me figure out how much fabric I should purchase, since I don’t have any specific projects in mind yet, just some future ideas. It was also fun to see pictures of what she has sewn, and it inspired me for future projects! Again, I highly recommend this tour!
