All Reviews of Nippori Fabric Town

Anyone who sews probably knows that many sewing supplies and tools sold in Taiwan are imported from Japan, and they aren’t exactly cheap. I happened to be in Japan on a business trip this time, so I used some free time to make a special trip to Nippori Fabric Town and stock up!

This place is really great for anyone who enjoys crafts and sewing and wants to hunt for finds. There’s a huge selection, from all kinds of sewing tools and supplies to fabrics. Even for the same Japanese brands or tools made in Japan, the prices here are much more affordable. I ended up picking out quite a few useful little tools while browsing, and the total came to only about JPY 7,000–8,000. It felt like a great deal!

I originally thought it was just a street selling fabric, but they had everything—buttons, zippers, accessories, and more. Even if you don't sew, it's still well worth a visit. The whole street is super colorful and full of character, and the prices were more affordable than I expected.

It's usually a lively place, but it's gotten quieter because of COVID.
I really hope it can go back to how it used to be~
