Some addresses in Kyoto have expressions like ¥"上ル¥" (meaning ¥"going north¥") or ¥"東入ル¥" (meaning ¥"going east¥"), and they often appear with a dash. So, ¥"錦小路角¥" can be ¥"Nishikikoji-kado¥". Likewise, ¥"烏丸通¥" can be ¥"Karasuma-dori¥".

Following the suggestion by Langaid, however, it seems that ¥"錦小路¥" is ¥"Nishikikoji¥".

agree Langaid (X) : just a little correction from a Kyoto native. It's Nishiki"no"koji.

Thanks for the suggestion. But, several sites suggests that it is "Nishikikoji".
Something went wrong...
