Kyoto Station Building



When you arrive at Kyoto station you would be amazed how the station is gigantic and unique architecture. It was rebuilt in 1997 to commemorate Kyoto's 1200th anniversary. When I've visited the station for the first time since it's changed, I felt almost shocking how the station was rebuilt into modern structures!!!  


 But while I keep visiting at the station to start the tour, I've right away attracted by its special mood this huge complex's projecting... yes, very international and full of nice attractions! We usually call it "Kyoto Eki Biru", or Kyoto Station Building, because it's a huge complex including a hotel, department store, musical theater, and lot's of restaurants and shopping stores!!


I don't know why but always get so excited right after I step into the Kyoto station. maybe it's because I feel as if I were in the airport to start my own travelling for overseas...while watching the many people from different countries in a  backpack or with a big suitcase walk in the station, just like a scramble crossing,  about to leave the station or just arrived and started to take a picture of Kyoto tower in a big smile. Everybody looks so happy and excited!! :)  I love those atmosphere...


Kyoto station is not only the place making you so excited, but very convenient "hub" to start the tour for anywhere. Why don't you start the private tour with me from this wonderful Kyoto station?
