If you are planning a one-day trip (for only girls) from Tokyo, why don’t you visit Kiryu, one of the best destinations to experience the traditional Japanese culture and explore the retro streets?
In this tour, you will enjoy Kiryu, the city where the old and the new coexist, discovered by a Taiwanese guide who has been traveling throughout Japan during her 5 years’s stay.
Kiryu is located in the eastern Gunma Prefecture, long known for its silk products. It is 2 hours away from Tokyo. Therefore, it is a perfect day-trip destination from Tokyo! This place has a lot of history along with the remains of many Japanese heritage and nationally registered tangible cultural properties. It is also famous for producing Kimonos and textiles and there is a phrase that is used to compare it to Kyoto’s Nishijin “Nishijin of West, Kiryu of East”.
In this tour, you can experience traditional Japanese religious culture and learn about the traditional silk fabric industry. It’s a fun experience to find fashionable shops that have gradually increased over the past few years while enjoying the retro streets. The most attractive thing in Kiryu is the cute trolley train! You can enjoy the amazing view of all the four seasons here.
During this tour, you will be able to visit several spots to experience Japanese traditional cultures and discover new trends. In Kannonin, you can try Shakyo, one of the Buddhist religious training of copying Buddhist scriptures to another paper. Also, it’s possible to capture instagram-worthy spots and take some retro pictures! Please discuss the details with the guide in advance via chat!
SInce Kiryu is still not well known among the foreigners, you can spend your time leisurely. Let us change into Kimono and take a walk around this classic but new city!
