Otesuji Shopping Arcade: "Fushimi Shopping" Top 5 Page for this destination Kyoto Shopping Tip by Rabbityama

Although Sanjo and Shijo have the most shopping centers and widest selection, if you're in the Fushimi area or just looking to go somewhere else for a change, the Otesuji Shopping Street is full of restaurants, clothing shops, some souvenir shops and other specialty shops. It's a nice place to browse. The district is four long streets in length and is located right outside Keihan Fushimi Momoyama Station (just a minute's walk from Kintetsu Momoyamagoryomae Station).

The area is most famous for its sake and wine, so if you are looking for local goods that is what to buy. Some are available here in the shopping district however, if you are touring the area, you can also go directly to the breweries not far from the shopping area.

As an interesting sidenote, Otesuji is powered by solar energy from solar panels on the roof of the overpass.
