Teramachi & Shinkyōgoku Arcades

寺町京極商店街

Nakagyo, Kyoto · 京都

Parallel roofed arcades running north from Shijō — one lined with old tea merchants, brush makers and knife shops, the other with cinemas and teen fashion.

Why it’s worth it

Ippodo tea and the old knife shops are on Teramachi. It is also the only shopping in Kyoto that works in heavy rain.
