Updated · 9 places we track in Kyoto Station, all first recorded in March 2026
Kyoto Station is big enough to eat three meals in. Honke Daiichi-Asahi and Ginjo Ramen Kubota do ramen, Kanazawa Maimon Sushi runs a conveyor belt in Kyoto Porta, and Oraga Soba is in the basement of Avanti. 551 Horai sells dim sum to take away from the JR Kyoto Isetan, and Katapan-ya Kamei-shoten is the old-style bakery. Kurasu Kyoto Stand and Davada Coffee & Records handle coffee. It is a good place to eat before a train. It is not the place to spend your one dinner in Kyoto.
