Late December walk along the 新大宮商店街 at night along empty streets.

Ōmiya Street (大宮通 おおみやどおり Ōmiya dōri) is a major street running from north to south in the city of Kyoto, Japan. It extends about 10 km from Shikanoshimo Park in the north to Takeda Idebashi Street in the south, crossing the Kita-ku, Nakagyō-ku, Shimogyō-ku, Minami-ku and Fushimi-ku districts of Kyoto.

History
Modern day Ōmiya Street corresponds to the Higashi Ōmiya Ōji of the Heian-kyō. After the decline of the Heian-kyō, as many other roads of the time it was extensively reduced, however it still remained by the time of the Kamakura period and beyond. Due to the construction of the Nijō Castle, the street was divided in two, in the section between Takeyamachi and Oshikoj streets.

Present day
Nowadays Ōmiya Street is located between Horikawa Street (east) and Mibugawa Street (west). The section south of Shijō Street is currently a wide highway, however the northern part is a narrow local street, with many sections being one-way only.[2] The section between Kamidachiuri and Motoseiganji streets crosses the hearth of the Nishijin district.
