Feel free to experience traditional, cultural crafts with handmade kits
Local spinning top productions experience
Intergate Hotels celebrated its 5th brand anniversary in March 2023. The first-ever hotel in the series is Hotel Intergate Kyoto Shijo-Shinmachi, and kyokoma (spinning top toy) craft is a designated traditional industry of Kyoto. We have prepared a kit to experience making kyokoma with motifs of local specialties from various regions, under the supervision of Mr. Nakamura Yoshiyuki–the only kyokoma craftsman in Japan.
The colorful spinning top has a meaning of “smoothness” & ”amity”, and has long been considered a good omen. At Hotel Intergate Kyoto Shijo-Shinmachi, you can make your own “local spinning top”, which is made in the motif of Koppori that is Maiko’s footwear. Please try it as a souvenir or a memory of your trip.
