" Guilty voice" Here is a post I put on my web before and I would love to share with you here too.😁 Hello? Welcome to my Japan travel blog. If you are reading this post, I think you love sewing & design just like me. Are you a fan of cute printed fabric like cats🐱, bear, fox illustration 🦊 ...or traditional Japanese art printed cloth 🍙🍤🌸 ? If yes, you gonna go to Tokyo-Nippori Textile Street for a crazy fabric shopping. Trust me, it is a heaven for designers and sewing lovers.  During high school, I read a Japanese comic called “Paradise Kiss” by Ai Yazawa sensei. It is a story about a group of Fashion Design student and I first knew the place Nippori through this comic. Until this year, I finally had a chance to visit Nippori as there was a sudden trip to Tokyo, yeah💖💖💖Now it’s time to share my Nippori shopping experience.

It may not be the Japan's largest handicraft market but I am pretty sure that you can find the cutest handmade product in the  Nuno-Haku Market . It is a very famous handicraft market and they have different theme for each event.

So how to make sure that you book the trip correctly? I can tell you that it is purely a gambling. No matter how much data you study and how careful you plan the trip, there is no 100% guarantee that you can see the most beautiful blossom view since weather is hard to predict nowadays and sakura only last for a week time or less.
