Meanwhile, there are some intersection names that do not use the names of their crossing streets; for example, the intersection of Shijo-dori Street and Higashi-oji-dori Street is 'Gion,' that of Nishioji-dori Street and Marutamachi-dori Street is 'Emmachi' (or Nishinokyo Enmachi), and that of Imadegawa-dori Street and Higashi-oji-dori Street is 'Hyakumanben Crossing.'
一方で、通り名をもつ2つの道路の交差点であっても、例えば、四条通と東大路通の交差点は「祇園」、西大路通と丸太町通の交差点は「円町（西ノ京円町とも呼ぶ）」、今出川通と東大路通の交差点は「百万遍交差点」であるなど、通り名の合成で表さない場合がある。
