Shimogyo · Kyoto: the centre & the castle · Japan
★★☆☆☆ View & landmark
No admission charge for anyone.
A vast steel-and-glass station that caused a national argument when it opened in 1997 in the country's most traditional city. The 171-step Grand Stairway and the rooftop Skyway are FREE and the view over Kyoto at dusk is better than several paid ones.
