People wait in lines for the next train on platform 0 of Kyoto Station (京都駅; Kyōto-eki), Kyoto, Japan.

Kyōto Station is the most important transportation hub in Kyoto, Japan. It has Japan's second-largest train station building, and is one of the country's largest buildings, incorporating a shopping mall, hotel, cinema, Isetan department store, and several local government facilities under one 15-story roof. The station is jointly operated by JR Central and JR West.

There is one side platform and four island platforms serving eight tracks for the Tōkaidō Line (Biwako Line, JR Kyoto Line) and Kosei Line at ground level, three dead-end platforms serving four tracks for the San'in Line (Sagano Line) to the west of platform 0 at ground level, and two dead-end platforms serving three tracks to the south of platform 7 at ground level. There are two island platforms serving four tracks for the Shinkansen, which are elevated.
