Nishiki Tenmangu
Didn't use my DSLR for this 3 days ‘coz its shopping time! Visited 4 covered streets, Nishiki Market which runs from East to West, Teramachi Shotengai which runs from North to South and is intersected by Nishiki Market at the south end, and the third one is Shinkyogoku Shotengai which runs parallel to Teramachi Shotengai and is where Nishiki Tenmangu is at, the last one is Sanjo Shotengai running East to West at the north end of Termachi Shotengai.
First was the walk through Nishiki Market.
Then came Teramachi Shotengai which intersects Nishiki Market.
