Kamigyo Ward

Quiet Kamigyo Ward is known as much for Kyoto Imperial Palace, a complex of classical Japanese halls and gardens, as for nearby Nishijin, a weaving district with traditional wooden houses. Artisans make and sell kimonos at Nishijin Textile Center, and the Orinasukan museum displays Noh theater costumes. Geishas serve meals and perform at Kamishichiken Kaburenjo Theater, with small taverns and soba noodle bars nearby.
