Nice and architectural building. 33 platforms actively using and more for other bulk trains. All indications and signs are clear and easy to find the way. All JR trains, shinkansen trains and subway trains are connected in one terminal.
Very peaceful and quiet in the morning but when the evening hits it super busy! This building's architectural design is unreal. It's so cool! Once you come out you can see a beautiful view of the Kyoto Tower.

What makes this view even more mesmerising is the innovative use of LEDs on the stairs leading to the top. These LEDs create captivating animations that bring the stairs to life. You can witness animations of people walking, trains moving, and other enchanting visual effects. It's a unique and immersive experience that adds an extra layer of wonder to your visit.

This is a very nice and clean train station. There are a ton of restaurants, grocery stores and shopping centers. You can walk to the top of the station and see nice views of the city. Kyoto tower is located right outside the station and you can enter the tower through the Porta's inside the station. The food hall inside the Kyoto tower is a good time with music and lots of food stalls to choose from. Definitely either stop or travel to this station, you'll enjoy it.
Clean, lots of shops great places to eat. Fantastic station. Pretty much has everything you need.
