Kawaramachi-dori Street was created at the beginning of the Edo Period with the excavation of Takasegawa Canal and the construction of the bank along the Kamogawa River. During the Edo Period it was called "vehicle road" because of the Aoi Festival parade, which used the northern portion of the road. The portion south of Nijo was called "Sumikura-dori." Since the Meiji Period, government offices and hotels have been built on Kawaramachi-dori, the road has been widened and train lines have been opened - so that it is now a main street of Kyoto.
