Although this district should be called 'Karasuma Kitaoji' as a neighborhood name is usually made by connecting a north-south street name and an east-west street name in Kyoto, this name is rarely used, but it is called 'Kitaoji Bus Terminal,' or 'Kitaoji Station.'
そのため、京都では南北と東西の通りの名前を合わせて烏丸北大路と呼ぶべき周辺地域が、この呼び方はほとんど使われず「北大路バスターミナル」あるいは「北大路駅」とする。
