    Momo was a very knowledgeable and thoughtful tour guide. We truly enjoyed spending time with her and learned a lot about fabrics and the different options in shops in Nippori. She even followed up with more information after. I highly recommend!

    I spent a couple of hours with the patient, sweet and delightful Momo, who guided me along the street, pointing out the characteristics of each of the shops, relating their history and explaining the Japanese labels, before ending in a place where she knew there were bathroom facilities and a couple of good cafes to rest my weary self. This then enabled me to double back to the shops I most admired, to carefully select the items I knew I couldn't find at home. It was lovely to have someone to chat and share the fabric appreciation and vibe of this busy street. It may take some patience, though, to find the treasures that really catch your eye.

    We had so much fun with MOMO! Granda, my son and me took the tour because grandma was looking for quilting fabric. MOMO was so patient with us and extremely knowledgeable of the area and where we could find specific items. We had a blast and found some good stuff!

    Great tour if you like any type of fashion related craft. Momo knows every corner of Nippori and can find the type of material you’re looking for if you tell her in advance. She’s very friendly and her English is flawless. Remember to wear your comfortable shoes as she says, as walking around all the Nippori stores takes a lot of walking, but it’s worthwhile.
