♪ By singing “Marutake Ebisu, Oshioike,”

I know the names of the east-west streets in Kyoto.

 

As you know, Kyoto is laid out in a grid pattern, and

Just like “Up” and “Down” or “East” and “West,” at intersections

It's now easier to tell which way to go.

 

For example, for “Shijo-dori, Kawaramachi Nishi-iru,”

As mentioned at the beginning, take “Shijo Street”

That means heading west from “Kawaramachi.”

 

If you know whether “south side of Shijo Street, just west of Kawaramachi” refers to the north or south side,

Takashimaya is located on "Shijo Street," heading west from "Kawaramachi"

You can see that it's on the south side.

 

Be sure to give it a try when you're sightseeing.
