「会所」(kai-sho) – A place where diverse groups of people interact and collaborate regardless of title or status.
This Nishijin Industrial Creation Hall is an important cultural asset born in the Taisho era (1912-1926), and is a hideaway space with a very open feel. Why don’t you work while relaxing in the coworking space here, or use the rental space for various purposes? We use the word “kaisho” with respect to this place to represent our relationship with Kyoto and the philosophy of Impact Hub.
We are setting up this historic place as a modern kaisho to create new values, industries, and cultural activities. (*Open on weekdays from 10:00 to 20:00, free to visit) Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
