Marutamachi-dori
Marutamachi-dori, which cuts east west across Kyoto, ran along the south side of Chodoin, the administrative center of the Heian palace. Little of the buildings remain, but the street has many spots that evoke the Heian culture. At the western end of this 8.5-kilometer street, we find Arashiyama-Sagano, one of Kyoto's major tourist locations. This area was a secluded retreat for Heian aristocrats, and the fine mountains remain unchanged. Along Marutamachi-dori, we will visit a shop where you can try on a 12-layered kimono or other garments worn by aristocrats during the Heian Period. We also dine on the New Year's feast that only high-ranking nobles ate.
Enjoy this trip along Marutamachi-dori and experience Heian dynastic culture.
