Jitensha Sign Nishijin Kyoto

Nishijin JItensha Sign「自転車」看板京都

A small mom-and-pop rice shop in Nishijin has a blue sign with white lettering that reads

自転車

That of course means "bicycle," but we have no idea why.

The building is old - which in the area is normal - and the sign is of a certain vintage.

However, there was not a bike or tool or pump to be found.

We didn't have time to investigate but the street, Teranouchi Dori, has much to recommend it.

Temples, small shops, old homes abound - so we will get back there and solve the mystery of the blue "jitensha" sign.
