Summary

Description

This photo shows the interior of Kyoto Station in Kyoto, Japan. The architect is Hiroshi Hara. The viewpoint is on about the fourth or fifth floor. To the right is the interior of the facade on the north (Karasuma Street) side. Pedestrians are exiting through an opening. Ahead is the Grand Staircase, a public space that can be used for exhibitions, concerts, and performances. Scenes for television shows such as Kyoto Meikyū Annai have been recorded there. Escalators to the right of the stairs lead from the ground floor to about the twelfth floor, emerging from under the roof so that the top floor (out of sight beyond the last escalator) is exposed to the elements. To the right of the escalators is the Isetan Department Store in the station building (more of the same store flanks the staircase out of sight on the left). Above the escalators, at the top of the photo, is a walkway that leads along the length of the interior of the station; it appears to be suspended from above.

Access to the railway platforms is at ground level, out of sight, below left.

  • A view looking down into the station from the top floor above the Grand Stairway. Connecting corridors from the elevated walkway are visible beneath the curved roof sections. The piers that support the facade lie just to the left of the JR sign that's below center at the right edge of the photo.

  • A view from the mezzanine level of the Grand Staircase looking to the opposite of the photo at top. The shiny, curved wall that forms the foreground of the photo at the top is visible here near the top, on the right, beyond the potted palm tree.
