Amtrak train station interior. The benches and art deco lighting fixtures are original. One day I'll take a trip.

Kyoto Station. My impression of the design of this massive complex was, "Good grief." www.japan-guide.com/e/e3922.html

Kyoto Station

This place is like a cavernous, multi-level space station. It's not my favorite architecture, but it's certainly...impressive. Chock-full of massive and disparate elements, weird traffic flow, endless stairs and tight, single-file escalators. I was told that it was designed by the same firm that designed Disneyland France - or something like that - and that it was highly controversial in conservative Kyoto when finished. (People hated it then and still do, in other words.) Kyoto is a traditional city and this station is more Tokyo style. www.japan-guide.com/e/e3922.html

Non-stop fun, window shopping and people watching, if you're lucky enough to stay in the hotel above the station. www.japan-guide.com/e/e3922.html
