English: The Nishioji-dori Street, located west of the heart of Kyoto City, is one of the major north-south streets running in Kyoto City.
Japanese: 西大路通（にしおおじどおり）は、京都市中心市街地の西部に位置する主要な南北の通りの一つ。
English: The street has relatively a short history; it opened in the early Showa period in a city development program (as a city planning road) involving the layout of Kyoto Municipal Streetcar on the street, following the road expansion program which was part of Kyoto's big three projects in late Meiji period and Taisho period.
Japanese: 明治末期から大正期に掛けて行われた京都三大事業での道路拡張に続き、市区改正道路（都市計画道路）として、京都市電の敷設とともに昭和初期に開通した比較的歴史の浅い通りである。
English: The section between the Kitaoji-dori Street and Kujo-dori Street opened in 1939, after which the Nishioji-sen of the Kyoto Municipal Streetcar commenced operation along the street in 1943 coinciding with the opening of the section linking Enmachi and Hakubai-cho.
Japanese: 1939年（昭和14年）に北大路通-九条通が開通し、その上を走る京都市電西大路線も、未開通であった円町-白梅町がつながることによって1943年（昭和18年）に開通した。
English: However the two roads happened to correspond with each other in comparing today's map with the Heian period's; the Nishioji-dori Street was not developed according to the Nodera-koji but built in the Showa period.
Japanese: しかし昭和になってから作られたので、平安時代の地図と見比べてみてたまたま位置が一致しただけであり、野寺小路が西大路通に発展したのではない。
English: Between the Kitaoji-dori Street in the north and the Jujo-dori Street in the south, the street is straight and oriented due north, although the section north of Hirano-jinja Shrine in the north and the section south of the Kujo-dori Street run diagonally eastward.
Japanese: 北は北大路通から南は十条通までで、北部の平野神社前以北と九条通以南は東寄りに斜めになっているが、それ以外の区間では一直線に真北を向いている。
English: On the street north of Kujo, Five Mountains Send-off Bonfires can be seen directly north.
Japanese: 九条あたりから北では、通りから真北に、五山送り火を望むことができる。
English: After the decline of Ukyo, the street was removed from the heart of the city and most of the sections are located outside Odoi Fortress made by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, or in Rakugai (outside of the capital Kyoto).
Japanese: 右京の衰退以来、都の中心から外れ、一部を除いて豊臣秀吉が築いた御土居の外側、洛外に位置することになった。
English: The names of districts such as Saiin and Nishi-Shichijo around the crossings of Nishioji-Shijo and Nishioji-Shichijo come from a time when the names used to refer to the villages.
Japanese: 西院（西大路四条）、西七条（西大路七条）などの交差点付近の地域名は、以前の村の名前である。
English: Marathons or marathon relay races are often held on the street north from Gojo-dori Street to Kitaoji-dori Street.
Japanese: 五条通から北、北大路通までがマラソン、駅伝のコースとしてよく利用される。
English: This is because the athletics and ball game ground, Nishikyogoku Sogo Undo Park is located west of Nishioji-gojo, where such races often start and finish.
Japanese: 西大路五条の西に西京極総合運動公園陸上競技場兼球技場があり、そこを起点終点とすることが多いためである。
English: All sections of the Nishioji-dori Street (Kitaoji-dori Street - Jujo-dori Street) belong to Kyoto City Road 181 Go Kyoto Kanjosen (belt line), a principal local road, which starts from Higashiyama-sanjo Crossing and finishes at Jujo Crossing with Takeda-kaido Road via the Higashioji-dori Street, Kitaoji-dori street, Nishioji-dori Street, and Jujo-dori Street.
Japanese: 西大路通の全区間（北大路通-十条通）が、東山三条交差点を起点に東大路通、北大路通、西大路通、十条通を経て竹田街道十条交差点に至る主要地方道である京都市道181号京都環状線になっている。
English: (Kyoto City Heiankyo Sosei-kan Museum) The Suzaku-oji Street is referred to as a government-run road in capitals of ancient East Asia under a street plan of ancient capital, which ran southward from the front of the Kyujo (place where Emperor lives) and Kanga (government office).
Japanese: （平安京創生館）朱雀大路（すざくおおじ）は、古代東アジアにおける首都内の官道名で、条坊制の都市において宮城・官衙の正面から南方にむかう道のこと。
English: Such streets, which were based on the street plans of the ancient capital, and which originated in Changan of Tang dynasty period, China, became popular in neighboring countries under the system of Sakuho System (System conferring a peerage with a Saku paper).
Japanese: 中国唐王朝時代の条坊制に基づいた長安に始まり、冊封制度により周辺諸国に波及。
English: The plan was introduced into Japan through official Japanese diplomatic delegations sent to China during the Sui and Tang dynasty and was first adopted for Fujiwarakyo Capital, which was the first city developed based on a city plan.
Japanese: 日本にも遣隋使、遣唐使を通じて条坊制が伝わり、最初の整備都市藤原京造営時に採用された。
English: However, the first Suzaku-oji Street developed by then Emperor Jito was only about 2.30 meters wide due to the Emperor's incomplete understanding of the role Suzaku-oji Street was supposed to play.
Japanese: しかし、当時の持統天皇は朱雀大路の役割を理解せず、2,30メートルほどの小路に造ってしまった。
English: There was barely enough space for people to pass by and furthermore military parades and victory drives could not be carried out in front of the Emperor.
Japanese: そのため人の行き来が窮屈になり、その上天皇への閲兵式、凱旋行進が出来ない状態となった。
English: This shortcoming was corrected in subsequent Heijokyo and Heiankyo so that the street was widened to more than several tens of meters.
Japanese: 後の平城京、平安京はこうした欠陥をなくし、数十メートル単位の大路に造営。
English: With the end of the Ritsuryo system (system of centralized governance) and the decline of the Imperial government, however, the district around the street began to be neglected.
Japanese: しかし律令制の崩壊、天皇政治の没落に伴い次第に市街地の整備もされなくなった。
English: When the center of the city was moved to the east, Suzaku-oji Street ceased to play a role as central street.
Japanese: 都の中心も東へ移動し既に朱雀大路は中央通りとしての役割を果たさなくなった。
English: In Dazaifu, some call the central north-south street extending from the government district Suzaku-oji Street, following the example of Heijokyo and Heiankyo.
Japanese: 大宰府においては政庁地区からのびる中央南北大路のことを平城京・平安京の例にならい朱雀大路と呼ぶこともある。
English: In and after the Sung dynasty era in China, the development of the capital under the ancient capital street plan became unpopular and Suzaku-dori Street became uncommon.
Japanese: 中国でも宋(王朝)の時代に入ると条坊制に基づいた都はあまり作られなくなり、朱雀大路も見られなくなった。
English: It took a long time for the section between Shijo-dori Street and Oike-dori Street to open, and in fact the street was never completely opened.
Japanese: しかし部分的にしか開業しておらず、長らく四条通から御池通までは未開通のままであった。
English: In April 2004, the section between Shijo-dori Street and Sanjo-dori Street opened, and in March 2005, the section between Sanjo-dori Street and Oike-dori Street section opened.
Japanese: 2004年4月に四条通-三条通が開通し、2005年3月に三条通-御池通が開通した。
English: It serves as a bypass for Tenjingawa-dori Street (National Highway route No. 162), which runs parallel to it on its west, while an extension to Marutamachi-dori Street in the north is being planed.
Japanese: 西側に平行する天神川通（国道162号）のバイパス道路としての役割も担っており、北は丸太町通までの延伸が計画されている。
English: Kadonooji-oike Crossing is near Uzumasa-tenjingawa Station of Tozai Line, Kyoto City Subway Line, above which the general buildings of Ukyo Ward Office have been recently built and relocated.
Japanese: 葛野大路御池交差点は、京都市営地下鉄東西線太秦天神川駅付近となり、右京区総合庁舎も同駅真上に新しく移転した。
English: Today's Omiya-dori Street between Shijo-dori Street and Jujo-dori Street is an arterial highway, but the section north of Shijo Omiya is narrower.
Japanese: 現在、四条通から十条通までは幹線道路となっているが、四条大宮から北は狭くなる。
English: North of Shijo Omiya, the primary highway goes to Senbon-sanjo of Senbon-dori Street via the Koin-dori Street, a diagonal road uncommon in Kyoto.
Japanese: 四条大宮から北への幹線道路は、京都市内では珍しく斜めを走る後院通を通じて、千本通の千本三条へつながっている。
English: This is because the north-south line of Kyoto Municipal Streetcar, Omiya-sen and Senbon-sen (abolished in 1972) takes this route.
Japanese: これは、京都市電の南北方向の路線である大宮線、千本線（1972年廃止）の経路によるもの。
English: The street is said to have been given the name of 'Omiya' because it borders the eastern edge of Dai-dairi (place of the Imperial Palace and government offices) (incidentally the street bordering the west edge of Dai-dairi was named Nishiomiya-oji Street), but the former name of Kuga-jinja Shrine of Shikinaisha (shrine listed in Engishiki laws), located directly north of the street in Shichiku-Shimotakedono-cho, Kita Ward, was 'Omiya.'
Japanese: 「大内裏」の東側に接していたため（ちなみに大内裏の西側に接していた通りを「西大宮大路」といった）と言われているが、この通りの真北の北区紫竹下竹殿町には式内社「久我神社」がありかつて「大宮」とも呼ばれた。
English: This district was once named 'Omiyago' and is said to be the first place where kamozoku (people those lived Kyoto basin to farm in Yayoi are) settled in.
Japanese: この地はかつて「大宮郷」と呼ばれ、カモ族が京都盆地に最初に居を定めた位置とも言われる。
English: There is an explanation that Kamo-wakeikazuchi-jinja Shrine originated here. (A ship crossing the river from Kamigamo-jinja Shrine to the right bank was once called Omiya Ferry.)
Japanese: 賀茂別雷神社の旧地との説もある（上賀茂神社から賀茂川右岸側への渡しはかつて「大宮渡し」と呼ばれた）。
English: Therefore 'Omiya' may have existed before the construction of Heiankyo, and it may not be wrong that the name of 'Omiya-dori' comes from this shrine.
Japanese: 従って「大宮」は平安京以前から存在し「大宮通」命名の由来としても不都合はない。
English: In addition, today's Omiya-dori Street is extended southward from the Kuzebashi-dori Street, until crossing the Kamogawa River and intersecting with the Abura-no-koji dori Street at the southern bank of the River near Kamitoba, Fushimi Ward.
Japanese: 尚、現在の大宮通りは久世橋通りより南に延長されており、伏見区上鳥羽近辺の鴨川を超えた南岸のところで油小路通りと交差している。
