==History==
[[File:First Kyoto Station.jpg|thumb|The first Kyoto Station]]
[[File:Kyoto Station Early Showa.jpg|thumb|The second Kyoto Station]]
[[File:Kyoto Station (building of the third) Kyoto,JAPAN.jpg|thumb|The third Kyoto Station]]
The [[Japanese Government Railways|governmental railway]] from {{STN|Kobe|x|Hyōgo}} reached Kyoto on 5 September 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 Kyoto Station opened for service by decree of [[Emperor Meiji]] on 5 February 1877.<ref>{{teishajo|II|34}}</ref>

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.<ref>Ishino, ''supra'', pp. 298, 351</ref>

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 [[Hirohito|Emperor Showa]] traveled between Kyoto and Tokyo. The station was spacious and designed to handle a large number of people,{{cn|date=September 2025}} but when a few thousand people gathered to bid farewell to naval recruits on 8 January 1934, 77 people were crushed to death.<ref>{{Cite web |date=8 January 1934 |title=Crowd Stampede At Kyoto Station Kills 77 |url=https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/injured-people-are-treated-after-a-crowd-stampede-at-kyoto-news-photo/2197674622 |access-date=3 September 2025 |website=Getty Images |language=en}}</ref>  This station burned to the ground in 1950, and was replaced by a more utilitarian concrete facility in 1952.

Aside from the main building on the north side of the station, the Hachijō-guchi building on the south side was built to house [[Tokaido Shinkansen]] which started operation in 1964. The underground facilities of the station, including the shopping mall ''Porta'' beneath the station square, were constructed when the subway opened in 1981.

The current Kyoto Station was designed by architect [[Hiroshi Hara (architect)|Hiroshi Hara]], and it opened in 1997 which commemorated 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. [[Architecture|Architecturally]], it exhibits many characteristics of [[futurism (art)|futurism]], with a slightly irregular cubic façade of plate glass over a steel frame.[https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3922.html] During the mid-1990s, Kyoto was one of the least modern cities in Japan by virtue of its many [[cultural heritage]] sites, so locals were largely reluctant to accept such an ambitious structure. However, the station's completion began a wave of new [[high-rise]] developments in Kyoto that culminated in the 20-story [[Kyocera Building]].

In addition to traditional rail services, Kyoto Station also housed the Kyōto CAT (City Air Terminal), a downtown check in, baggage, and train service for some JAL flights operating out of Kansai International Airport. This service was discontinued on August 31, 2002 due to lack of ridership.<ref> https://maidonanews.jp/article/14822380 </ref>
