Last update :

Located about 3 minutes on foot from JR Nippori Station, Nippori Fabric Town is centered around Nippori Central Street and spans about 1 kilometer with about 90 fabric shops. This area attracts shoppers from all over the country, from beginners in handcrafts to professionals in the fashion industry, as it offers a wide range of materials, fabrics, and fashion-related accessories.

The main street, Nippori Central Street, is lined with a variety of specialty stores that offer textile materials, leather, accessories, buttons, patterns, sewing, and accessories. Since there is such a wide range of products that you can't see them all in one day, it is essential to thoroughly research the stores that fit your purpose! There are also shops with unique product lineups off the main street in the "Back Nippori" and "Deep Nippori" areas, so be sure to check them out.

The items available at the fashion shops in the textile town are popular among young people because they are cheap and cute. They have been called "Nipo-Kaji (Nippori Casual)" and have become a topic of discussion on new SNS and in the media.

Every autumn, the "Nippori Fashion Design Contest" is held, and many works are submitted by students and general participants who aspire to be active in the fashion industry. The next generation of fashion is being launched from Nippori, the city of textiles.
