Kyoto station. Probably one of the most impressive building of this city of 1,500,000 people. Re-built in 1997 by Hiroshi Hara to celebrate the 1200th anniversary of the decision take in 794, by the empror Kanmu, to choose as capital of Japan, Heian-Kyo (nowadays known as Kyoto). Inside there are a big hotel of 539 rooms and a theatre of 900 seats. There are about 240,000 people using the station every day.
