En route, it is blocked by Higashi Hongan-ji Temple and Kyoto Station. • Illustration — Hana-no Gosho palace. • Illustration — Muromachi bakufu site marker. In 1378, near where Imadegawa Street now intersects Muromachi Street (Muromachi-dōri Imadegawa), the third shōgun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu established the also known as Muromachi-dono, a luxurious palace that became the political and cultural center of the country. Today, its location is commemorated by a stone marker in what was its southwestern corner and relics from excavations in the area are held in the Winter Plum Hall of Dōshisha University. The Ashikaga (Muromachi) shogunate prospered until the Ōnin War (1467–1477), during which Kyoto disintegrated into the two areas Kamigyō and Shimogyō. After the war, Muromachi Street was the only road between them. During the Edo period, Muromachi Street saw the growth of kimono wholesalers, some of which survive today. Each July, districts centered on the intersection between Muromachi Street and Shijō Street (Shijō Muromachi) in Shimogyō build floats (yamaboko) to parade during the Gion Matsuri festival.
