Kyoto Station
Encyclopedia
is the most important transportation hub in Kyoto
, Japan
. It has Japan's second-largest train 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.
The governmental railway
from reached Kyoto on September 5, 1876, but the station was under construction and a temporary facility called Ōmiya-dōri (Ōmiya Street) Temporary Station was used until the opening of the main station. The first Kyōto Station opened for service by decree of Emperor
Meiji
on February 5, 1877.
In 1889, the railway became a part of the trunk line to Tokyo
(Tōkaidō 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.
The station was replaced by a newer, Renaissance
-inspired facility in 1914, which featured a broad square (the site of demolished first station) leading from the station to Shichijō Avenue. Before and during World War II
, the square was often used by imperial motorcades when Emperor Showa
traveled between Kyoto and Tokyo. The station was spacious and designed to handle a large number of people, but when a few thousand people gathered to bid farewell to naval recruits on January 8, 1934, 77 people were crushed to death. This station burned to the ground in 1950 and was replaced by a more utilitarian concrete facility in 1952.
The current Kyōto Station opened in 1997, commemorating Kyoto's 1,200th anniversary. It is 70 meters high and 470 meters from east to west, with a total floor area of 238,000 square meters. Architecturally
, it exhibits many characteristics of futurism
, with a slightly irregular cubic facade of plate glass over a steel frame. The architect was Hiroshi Hara.
Kyoto, one of the least modern cities in Japan by virtue of its many cultural heritage
sites, was largely reluctant to accept such an ambitious structure in the mid-1990s: The station's completion began a wave of new high-rise developments in the city that culminated in the 20-story Kyocera Building. Hence some criticize the station's design for taking part in breaking down the traditional cityscape.
Aside from the main building on the north side of the station, the Hachijō-guchi building on the south side was built to house Tōkaidō Shinkansen which started operation in 1964. The underground facilities of the station, including the shopping mall Porta beneath the station square, was constructed when the subway opened in 1981.
In addition to the lines above, the following lines, among others, have through services to Kyōto Station:
