This is a 3-day creative escape into the quieter, more tactile side of Kyoto.

Over three days, you’ll step into the world of Japanese textiles through three intimate workshops:

1. Learn sashiko embroidery — a centuries-old stitching technique — just moments from the iconic path of 10,000 red torii gates in Fushimi
2. Turn a vintage kimono into a one-of-a-kind pouch, surrounded by the natural beauty of Arashiyama
3. Try your hand at Kyoto’s famed yuzen silk dyeing, in the historic textile district of Nishijin, with time to explore antique kimono shops and local studios
