Tour Guide (Machiya Owners)
★Sachiko Sugimoto
While living in a different area of Kyoto city, Sachiko decided to have a second house in the Kitano area where she could feel the most authentic and Kyoto-like atmosphere. As the area has flourished by Nishijin textile, Sachiko could enjoy her hobby of weaving even more by exploring the weaving shops around.
Being someone who has experienced living abroad in the United States and the U.K., she fully understands the importance of knowing the neighborhood and its people. She hopes that more people will be able to see the beauty of Kitano area through this tour.
