長者町繊維街, Textile district in Nagoya, Japan.

The Choja-machi textile district spans several blocks with intersections marked by distinctive gates displaying the district's name in central Nagoya.

The area evolved from a wealthy merchant district during the Edo period to become one of Japan's three major textile wholesale districts after World War II.

The district transformed into an arts venue during the Aichi Triennale in 2009, using empty buildings as exhibition spaces for contemporary installations.

Located minutes from Fushimi Station on the Higashiyama Line, the district contains textile shops, cafes, interior design stores, and restaurants.

The area maintains 20,000 daily workers but only 400 residents at night, creating a stark contrast between daytime commerce and evening quiet.
