Sanjo-dori, 13 kilometers long from east to west, is an interesting, multifaceted street. The modern architecture along Sanjo-dori symbolizes Japan’s Westernization. While much remains from its long, rich history, something new is being added to this exciting district, each day. The shops lining the street produce goods with a modern, artistic twist using traditional methods. Here, we see the retro-modern side of Kyotoites, who do like the new, as well as the old.
