The section between Shijo-dori Street and Takatsuji-dori Street was once Kyoto's largest electronic quarter, which was smaller than in scale but can be compared to Akihabara and Denden Town; now, however, the electric goods shops decline in number from their flourishing past, like in Nihonbashi and Osu, and are being replaced by new urban-style apartments.
また、四条通から高辻通にかけては、東京や大阪と比べると小規模ながら電気街になっており、京都の秋葉原やでんでんタウンといってもよい通りであったが、日本橋や大須同様に、往時と比べて電気店の数が減少し、新しい都心型のマンションなどが建設されている。
