Sanjō-kai shōtengai 京都三条会商店街
More than 150 shops under a single roof: this is where you do the grocery shopping, not the souvenir shopping.
A covered shopping arcade, *shōtengai* in Japanese, that runs along Sanjō Street west of the centre, from Horikawa to Senbon. It was not created for visitors: it serves the neighbourhood. Among the shops is Hosoji Kōbundō, which has been carving personal seals for four hundred and twenty years.
