Tango Chirimen Historical Street
culture
丹後ちりめん歴史街道
Three-century-old silk-weaving quarter where looms still clatter and visitors can try indigo dyeing.
The Tango region has produced chirimen silk crepe for over 300 years, and the Kaya area in Yosano preserves the weaving district's atmosphere with machiya workshops where looms still clatter. Visitors can try indigo dyeing, hand-weaving on small looms, and browse studios where artisans produce the textured silk used in high-end kimono. The narrow lanes echo with the rhythmic sound of pedal looms.
