What makes this place special?
At a Glance
Shijō Kawaramachi is the main downtown shopping and entertainment district of Kyoto, centered on the crossing of Shijō and Kawaramachi streets. Department stores stand around the intersection, including Takashimaya, whose basement holds a food market. Hankyu Kyoto-Kawaramachi Station lies directly beneath the crossing.
Shopping streets such as Teramachi and Shin-Kyōgoku run nearby, and across the Kamo River by the Shijō Ōhashi bridge lie Gion and Yasaka Shrine. Just north is Pontochō, one of Kyoto's five geisha districts, where the old townscape is preserved. The intersection is also on the route of the Gion Festival float procession, where the floats turn the corner in a maneuver called tsujimawashi.
