自転車で京都西陣へ日本語ご希望の方。
This Kyoto cycling route takes in Nishijin, the old weaving quarter.
The area still has many operating looms and larger weaving businesses, but it is but a shadow of its former self.
Fewer and fewer Japanese wear kimono on a daily basis; moreover, the yen is simply too high to export.
However, the area has lots of old houses and temples, and is a good and flat day out.
For more information, in Japanese (with a link to an English page), here is a page on cycling to Nishijin.
