Shopping Arcade in JAPAN/Teramachi Kyogoku Shopping Arcade
【Teramachi Kyogoku Shopping Arcade】
Nakagyo-ku Kyoto City KYOTO
Teramachi Street is a historical street in Kyoto, Japan, running north-south. The area extending from Shijo Street to somewhat above Sanjo Street is an arcade containing an assortment of shops and services, both traditional and modern. The street's name means Temple Town, similar to English Templeton, and reflects the large number of temples moved there during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's remodeling of Kyoto in the 16th century.

Shinkyogoku Shopping Arcade in Kawaramachi, Kyoto
Kyoto has quite a few shopping arcades or shoutengai. We checked out a few while in Kyoto. You can usually find some pretty interesting restaurants or shops along these narrow roofed streets.

Teramachi and Shinkyogoku - 寺町と新京極
This shopping district's mix of commerce and contemplation is a legacy of the devastation that visited Kyoto during Japan's Sengoku (Warring States) Period. In the wake of the violent era, the ruling warlord of a mostly-united Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, ordered the reconstruction of Kyoto in 1591. In the process, several temples were relocated to the residential street of Higashikyogoku-oji, which was renamed Teramachi-dori, or Temple Town Street.
Shops that catered to temple-goers, selling items such as prayer beads and incense, sprung up amidst the temples. In 1872, a new shopping street parallel to, and one block east of Teramachi, was created and named Shinkyogoku. It became home to many live theaters, which transitioned into movie houses in the 20th Century, though today only one cinema can be found in the district.
However, you can still buy prayer beads -- as well as clothes, household items, and restaurant fare -- among the many shops of the Teramachi and Shinkyogoku shopping arcades. You can also drop some Yen at the temples or the Nishiki Tenmangu Shrine that still stand among the shops, in a purchase of a talisman or as an offering accompanied by a prayer.
In the final part of the video, clockwork-like machinery and human effort work in tandem to produce castella, Japanese sponge cake, at Rondon-ya (ロンドンヤ ), a shop in Shinkyogoku.

Kyoto - Handicraft Center
Am 17. August besuchten wir später noch einen Laden in Kyoto, der sich speziell an Touristen richtet, das Handicraft Center. Es ist ein großer Souvenirshop (über 4 Etagen), in dem man alle möglichen, typischen, japanischen Geschenke kaufen kann, um sie in die Heimat mitzunehmen. Dort ist auch alles in Englisch ausgeschildert für die Touristen.
Hier habt ihr also einige kleine Eindrücke von dem Laden. Hoffe, euch gefällts :-)
