chairman and seamstress Kawamura Junichi
We produce cycle caps one by one by hand from hand towel fabrics and Nishijin
sakibi fabrics, sticking to the "Made in KYOTO" concept. We put our heart and soul into making our caps so
that they are more carefully finished than ready-made caps, and we hope you will like them.

Kyoto City with easy access to mountain passes and hills
I am Kawamura of Enishi, a company that produces and sells cyclecaps in Nishijin,
Kyoto.
In Kyoto, there are many temples, shrines, and traditional townhouses with a relaxed atmosphere, so
people tend to think that there are few places to ride a road bike in the wind. However, Kyoto is surrounded
by mountains on three sides and has many mountain passes and hills where you can show your cycling spirit.
Seasonal views beyond the city limits
Among them is the Kyomi Pass, which is located just outside the city but
overlooks the city of Kyoto, and from there you will pass through a tunnel of Kitayama cedar trees to reach
the Mochikoshi Pass. From there, visitors can enjoy the seasonal scenery along the mountain slopes.
The
Kamo River's headwaters and Kumogabatake are just a short ride away, allowing you to forget the hustle and
bustle of the city for a short while.
You can also enjoy a leisurely bicycle ride or, when the summer
heat is too much, take a plunge into the river.
Although it is hot and humid in the center of Kyoto and
the wind does not blow much, cyclists will be touched by the clear water and abundance of nature, just like in
a summer resort.
Of course, it is a beautiful place to ride every day, with cherry blossoms in spring and
autumn leaves in fall, and you can feel the change of the seasons.
After the mountain hill, you will be taken to
historical and historic sites, sweet stores, and aromatic coffee shops.
For example, you can visit
Daitokuji Temple and Imamiya Shrine, where you can rediscover the joy of touring by bike with a cup of gently
sweetened aburi-mochi (rice cake) in your mouth.
