EIGHT RIBBON

Outline

Factory tour & manufacturing experience

This is the only Jacquard Ribbon Factory in Japan that uses old-style looms (shuttle looms), where you can observe the Tyrolean ribbon manufacturing process.
As soon as you enter the quaint and retro factory, you will feel as if you have traveled back in time to the Showa era.You can take a close look at the old shuttle looms moving slowly and weaving cute ribbons. Not only can you take a tour, but you can also experience actually operating large machines.
