Ōmachi Ōji

Ōmachi Ōji (大町大路) is the name of a street in Kamakura, Kanagawa, Japan, which begins at Geba Yotsukado and ends at the Nagoshi Pass.[1] It takes its name from the district of Ōmachi, which it crosses. At the time of the shogunate it was the most important road that went from east to west.[1] The entertainment and red-light district of the city used to be at the intersection between Komachi Ōji and Ōmachi Ōji.[1] The branch of the street that from the intersection goes in the opposite direction is called Yuigahama Ōdori (Yuigahama Avenue). On it stand temples like An'yō-in and Ankokuron-ji.

gollark: Oh, no, I was just randomly saying that it would be neat if I had good autosummarization algorithms available.
gollark: Still it's a good enough bad pun that I am unlikely to change it.
gollark: It's my notes wiki thing and a bad pun.
gollark: It would be neat if I could make minoteaur™ automatically generate a rough summary of what a revision is about.
gollark: It's a shame text autosummarization or at least interesting-keyword-extraction is so apiologically hard.
