Whether just window shopping or looking for that special souvenir, the following areas are the most rewarding: Shijo St. between Higashioji St. and Daimaru Dept. Store; Teramachi and Shinkyogoku Sts. near the Shijo-Kawara machi Intersection; Kiyomizu-zaka St. for a wide selection of ceramics; the second floor of Kyoto Station; the extensive underground 'Porta' shopping arcade connecting the JR and subway Kyoto Stations; and the 'Avanti' shopping complex on the south side of Kyoto Station.
