Shijio Kawaramachi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shijō Kawaramachi (四条河原町?) is a vibrant, if somewhat touristy, part of central Kyoto, Japan where Shijō and Kawaramachi Streets intersect. Kawaramachi-dōri runs parallel to the Kamo River on the eastern side of Kyoto.
[edit] Shijō Kawaramachi Station
Kawaramachi Station is the terminal of the Hankyu Kyoto Line (Hankyu Railway) in Kyoto. The underground station lies beneath the intersection of the two streets. Keihan Shijō Station is located beyond the Kamo River.
The real estate around Kawaramachi station at one time ranked among the most valuable in Japan before the real estate bubble burst in the early '90s.
Currently, the station connects underground to department stores such as Takashimaya, which has an eclectic food market on its basement floor. The station also connects underground to Karasuma Station.
