Okaya City is home to the once world-renowned Okaya Silk. While the production of raw silk has decreased since its heyday, the techniques and history of this craft have been passed down, and handwoven silk products made of Okaya raw silk have grown in popularity as a new famous local specialty, “Okaya Silk.” Okaya Silk is characterized by the gentle touch and natural texture obtained by using raw silk produced by Joshu and Suwa silk reeling machines at Miyasaka Silk Reeling Co., which is attached to the Okaya Silk Museum.
