Shijō Kawaramachi

Kawaramachi Street runs parallel to the Kamo River on the eastern side of Kyoto, while Shijō Street runs east–west through the center of the city.

Kyoto Marui opened on April 27, 2011 replacing Hankyu Department Store, which closed on August 22, 2010.

The underground station lies beneath the Shijō Kawaramachi intersection.

Passengers may change trains from Kyoto-kawaramachi Station to Gion-Shijō Station (Keihan Railway Keihan Main Line), which is located beyond the Kamo River.

Currently, the station connects underground to department stores such as Takashimaya, which has an eclectic food market on its basement floor.
