Hiyoshiya is a long-established Kyoto umbrella store founded in the late Edo period. For over 160 years since its founding, the company has continued to make Kyoto umbrellas, inheriting traditional techniques.
Even today, they still produce and repair various types of Japanese umbrellas, and are the only workshop that continues to carry on the techniques of "Kyoto Japanese umbrellas" that have been passed down from generation to generation.
The workshop is located in Nishijin, Kyoto, an area that is home to many of Kyoto's historical and cultural heritage, including Nishijin textiles, and where traditional, charming streets still remain.
After your tour of the workshop, you can enjoy a stroll around the historical city of Kyoto. We look forward to welcoming you to our store.
