A first-class river that flows through Tokyo. The song Kanda River, which was a hit in the 1970s set in Shinjuku, is very famous.
You can experience Edo culture at the workshop which is also featured in commercials and posters. About 100 years have passed since the dyeing industry developed in Shinjuku in search of the clear waters of the Kanda River. Why don't you slip back in time to the Taisho era at the workshop that also has a museum？

I was pleased to find a cultural activity in the Shinjuku area for day I had free before a three week tour. The Dyeing museum was excellent. It was easy to meet the local guide and walk with him to the museum. I enjoyed dyeing a tote bag and then touring the small factory to see traditional dyeing techniques for kimono fabrics. I would recommend this tour highly.
