This place is huge. One the bigger stations I've seen in my life. Not to mention in Japan. Do not underestimate it! It is 11 floors of shops, restaurants and stations. Had a pleasant experience with in staff in the shops with the limited Japanese I knew and still was helped out with the greatest care. I would highly recommend getting here early to visit the shops. There are so many sweets on the basement floor, too! Must have experience. There are also so many great views of the city from here! They have a small garden space on the top floor where there is a fantastic view of Kyoto!
