If you are coming by Shinkansen (High Speed Train) to visit me, this is where you will arrive in Kyoto. Kyoto Station is a several storied building with a rooftop garden and has an awesome view over Kyoto. Also, next door is Kyoto Tower (and Hotel). A must-see spot for tourists. I still haven't been to the top of Kyoto Tower so I'll wait until my first visitor comes here =D
Looking from the rooftop garden down into the station. 12 floors high I believe, at least...
