[This is a representative Kyoto spot!]

Kyoto Station is famous for its huge atrium. It is one of the largest station buildings in Japan, stretching 470m from east to west and 60m high. It is famous for the huge space in the central concourse. Based on the concept of "Kyoto is a gateway to history," the ceiling is covered with 4,000 pieces of glass, creating a modern art space with a mixture of straight and curved lines. To the left of the central ticket gate is the large staircase, a Kyoto Station specialty. It is a huge staircase with 171 steps, and is a unique space that can be used as seating during events. In addition, the aerial passage 45m above ground connects the east and west sides of the station in the air, and from the observation deck along the way you can see Kyoto city and Kyoto Tower. #0yentravelJanuary2025
