We visited on a clear afternoon in October – the tower sits about a shopping and hotel complex just across the road from Kyoto Railway Station – accessing the 100 metre high observation deck is a 2-stage process by lift – but once there you are treated to a 360 degree view of Kyoto which is impressive and well worth a visit – thank you

Kyoto Tower
Very nice view of Kyoto. Personal experience: going for a drink in the evening. This creates a beautiful setting with Kyoto at night as a background
