Kiritoshi Street (Kyoto) (切り通し (京都))

Kiritoshi Street is a narrow street running north to south in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City. Kiritoshi Street is only about 180 meters long, ending at Shinbashi-dori Street to the north and Shijo-dori Street to the south. Despite its length, Kiritoshi Street is considered a main street in Gion, running parallel to Hanamikoji-dori Street to the east and Yamato-oji-dori Street to the west.

The sections between Shinbashi-dori Street, Shirakawaminami-dori Street and Sueyoshicho-dori Street are like narrow alleyways, but similar to streets like Shinbashi-dori Street, they are elegantly paved with stones.
