Kyoto Station
is a major railway station and
transportation hub in Kyoto, Japan. It has Japan's second-largest station
building (after Nagoya Station) and is one of the country's largest buildings,
incorporating a shopping mall, hotel, movie theater, Isetan department store,
and several local government facilities under one 15-story roof. It also housed
the Kyoto City Air Terminal until August 31, 2002. In 1889, the railway became
a part of the trunk line to Tokyo (Tokaido Main Line). Subsequently the station
became the terminal of two private railways, Nara Railway (1895, present-day Nara
Line) and Kyoto Railway (1897, present-day Sagano Line), that connected the
station with southern and northern regions of Kyoto Prefecture, respectively. Source
