Kyoto Station

The designer's decision was made through an international nominating contest, which is unusual for railway station buildings, with seven architects such as Tadao Ando and Kurokawa Jiming nominated. As a result of the inspection, the original blog, known for its design of the "Umeda Blue Sky Building", was adopted. It seems that measures have been taken to relax height restrictions around Kyoto Station so that buildings up to 120 m can be built, but the height limit is 60 m and pressure is exerted due to strong opposition to it will damage the scenery of the ancient city. It seems that the proposal was adopted, and the idea of avoiding emotion is everywhere. The huge atrium in the central hall features a semi-reflective front mirror reflection of Kyoto Tower is avant-garde. From the central ticket gate to the west up the escalator square, there are 171 steps of stairs, about 15,000 LEDs for graphic lighting decoration seasonal design. After observing the lights of the East Temple and the special exhibition at night, I stopped before returning to the hotel, but the scenery was more impressive than I expected.

Kyoto Station, the transportation center and transportation hub of Kyoto, is a modern architectural complex, such a large volume in Kyoto is special, including many businesses and a hotel.

Because I think the traffic in Japan is really complicated, the first time I came to Japan, I couldn’t even buy a ticket, because I didn’t know the price inside. There were a lot of people coming and going to the station. There were places to buy things.

I'm in love with the unique decoration of this station. It's quite crowded on holidays and weekends.

very convenient location to travel anywhere in Kyoto. The station is huge with a lot of restaurant and convenience store. A good place to buy souvenir

Kyoto has more Western tourists than anywhere else in Japan, and there are so many people at Kyoto Station that I feel like I really love the whole world. ㅋㅋ

I went to Kyoto with national travel support, but it was very convenient because there were many places where coupons could be used! There were many buses, so there was little waiting time and it was easy to go anywhere.
