At a Glance
Teramachi Street is a historic north-south street in Kyoto that runs about 4.6 kilometers from Kuramaguchi Street to Gojō Street. Its name means Temple Town: in 1590 Toyotomi Hideyoshi had a large number of Buddhist temples moved here, and records mention around 80. The street follows the line of the Heian-period Higashi Kyōgoku Ōji and now runs along the east side of the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
The section from Marutamachi to Nijō is lined with antique shops and galleries. From Oike to Shijō the street becomes a covered shopping arcade, closed to vehicles during the day. Honnō-ji, Rozan-ji, Yatadera and Nishiki Market are among the sites along its length.
