Nijo-dori

Nijo-dori, which runs 3.5 kilometers east-west, shows us various different faces of Kyoto. At the one end of the road is the Okazaki area, a concentration of modern Kyoto history. Along the way in various neighborhoods, we find craftsmen - traditional and modern - and many renovated Kyoto machiya-style townhouses. At the other end of the road is a World Heritage site showcases the dazzling prosperity of the Edo Period. Despite being a short street, Nijo-dori reveals much about Kyoto and shows the local's passion for preserving Kyoto's culture for future generations.
Enjoy this trip along Nijo-dori.
