～Furukawacho shopping district～

We recommend you to walk through Furukawacho shopping district after getting off the train at Higashiyama Station. It is located south from the station and walking straight through can let you lead to the guesthouse.

Furukawacho shopping district has a very old history. It has been said that the shopping district was already in place in 1950, just after World WarⅡ. Through three-hundred meter street, you will find about 50 shops: stationery shop, book store, fish store, café, etc. The shop owners give warm greetings to those who walk through the shopping district. The environment where people can feel old day Kyoto is rare nowadays. Please enjoy as you head to Guesthouse Connection Chionin.
