Kawaramachi Street

Kawaramachi Street (河原町通, Kawaramachi-dōri) runs parallel to the west bank of the Kamo River on the eastern side of Kyoto, Japan.

Located outside of Heian-kyō and runs almost parallel to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Odoi.

It is thought that it was established when the city expanded to the Kamo River in the early Edo Period.

From north to south it extends from Aoibashi Nishizume to Jujō Street.

It is not clear when the excavation began of the eastern end of Heikan-kyo and inner eastern side of Odoi but because Odoi was runs along Kawaramachi Street's western side it is thought to be after the creation of Kawaramachi.
