Overview
  • While most tours focus on Kyoto’s ancient beauty, this one reveals its modern magic—after dark. You'll explore Kyoto Station’s futuristic architecture, including its glowing Grand Staircase and sky-high walkways, and enjoy the panoramic night view from Kyoto Tower, the city’s tallest point.
  • Few travelers know how stunning these landmarks become at night—a hidden side of Kyoto where light, steel, and reflection create a dreamlike atmosphere. Rainy weather only adds to the effect, turning the city into a cyberpunk fantasy.
  • Centrally located and easily accessible, this tour is a refreshing, crowd-free way to experience Kyoto’s unexpected brilliance.
What to expect

At night, the Kyoto Station Building becomes a hidden gem of architectural beauty and light. Its massive steel-and-glass structure transforms into a futuristic dreamscape that few expect from the gateway to an ancient city. One of its most stunning features is the Grand Staircase, where over 15,000 LED lights create seasonal displays and animated patterns—like flowers blooming or stars dancing—turning the stairs themselves into a giant canvas of light. Above, the Skywalk, a glass-enclosed aerial corridor suspended high above the station, offers a surreal walking experience through a world of steel, light, and reflection. From here, you can look out over the city or peer down into the architectural heart of the station itself. This is not just a transit hub—it’s a nighttime attraction in its own right, where Kyoto’s innovative spirit quietly shines.
