ATELIER LOOM／Shinko towel
Enjoy café time and thoughtful shopping while experiencing the authentic atmosphere of a towel factory.
For over 50 years in the towel-making town of Izumisano—one of Japan’s well-known Senshu Towel production areas—Shinko Towel has been dedicated to crafting “skin-friendly towels” with exceptional care.
From the very first touch, you’ll notice their remarkable absorbency—almost as if the towel gently clings to your skin—paired with a smooth, refreshing feel.
By developing original yarns and employing proprietary manufacturing techniques, Shinko Towel creates products that offer a level of comfort and quality you won’t find in ordinary towels.
Here, visitors can also gain insight into the towel-making process itself. By seeing how towels are made, you can truly appreciate Japanese craftsmanship and uncompromising standards that go into every piece.
The on-site café ATELIER LOOM is a unique space where you can view the towel factory through glass walls while enjoying a relaxed café atmosphere. It is also an experiential space where you can touch, compare, and select towels based on their texture and comfort, and feel the difference for yourself.
Enjoy a moment of calm with expertly brewed siphon coffee or fragrant herbal teas.
The brand’s signature collections—MAISON BLANC, Landwell Hotel, fais dodo, and PILE CRAFTS—offer a diverse lineup suitable for everyday use, as well as memorable travel keepsakes or thoughtful gifts.
Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood away from the crowds, this special spot allows you to experience “Izumisano’s craftsmanship × a comfortable, refined space.”
Located within walking distance of Izumisano Station (approximately a 10-minute walk), it’s an easy stop during your journey or before and after flights via Kansai International Airport(KIX).
