English: However, with the development of the station the building underwent further extensions repeatedly, and as a consequence the station structure--with its shopping area, including an underground shopping mall and access-ways--became extremely chaotic and terribly inconvenient.
Japanese: しかし、駅が発展すると共に増築に次ぐ増築を重ねたため、地下街を含む商店街や連絡通路などを含めると構内の構造は混迷を極め、大変不便なものになっていた。
English: South of the platforms there is another station building beneath the platforms of the Kintetsu Line and the Shinkansen, which was constructed when the Shinkansen went into operation; however, it underwent a slight change during the renovation due to its small size except for the construction of the Nanboku-Jiyu-Tsuro and the complete separation of the ticket wicket of the JR Line from that of the Kintetsu Line.
Japanese: なお、ホーム南側にも駅舎があるが、これは新幹線開通時に建設されたもので近鉄・新幹線のホーム下にあり、規模は小さく、新駅ビル建設の際も南北自由通路の設置やJR線と近鉄線の改札を完全分離化した事以外は大きな変更はなかった。
English: Near the edge of the platform of the Sagano Line to the direction of Kameoka Station, the JR Kyoto Station NK building was completed and a new ticket wicket was installed there to alleviate the congestion of the Sagano Line caused by passengers rushing to the cars stationed at another end of the platform toward the direction of Kyoto Station.

Japanese: 京都駅ビル（JR西日本）は、日本の鉄道駅舎としては異例の建築設計競技方式で行われ、新駅ビル設計者には原広司、安藤忠雄、池原義郎、黒川紀章、ジェームズ・スターリング(建築家)、バーナード・チュミ、ペーター・ブスマンの7名の複数の建築家が指名された。
English: The eliminatory screening of the design narrowed the seven proposals down to those of HARA, ANDO and STIRLING, and after further deliberation the proposal of Hiroshi HARA was adopted as the final plan.
Japanese: 設計審査の結果、先ず原広司案、安藤案、スターリング案の3案に絞り込まれ、更なる協議を経て、原広司案が最終案として採用された。
English: Although the Kyoto Station area enjoys a preferential measure that permits construction to a height of 120 m, the designs were evaluated from the standpoint of how to achieve harmony with the surrounding environment, avoiding the oppressive feeling caused by the huge size and height of the building, because there were persistent objections arguing that an easement of the height restriction might destroy the landscape of the ancient capital.
Japanese: 京都駅周辺は高さ120mまでの建築物が建築可能となる特例措置が設けられているが、高さ制限の緩和は古都の景観を損なうものとして反対意見も根強かったため、建物の巨大さ、高さに起因する圧迫感を回避し、いかに周辺環境との調和を図るかが作品の評価のポイントとなった。
English: The adopted design shows various precautions to avoid any oppressive feeling, including the measure to secure a visual axis by dividing the building in accordance with roads stretching to the north and south, and by limiting the maximum height to less than 60 m, but the design does not offer a perfect solution.
Japanese: 採用された設計案では、最大高さを60mに抑えた上で、南北方向の道路に合わせて建物を分割して視線を通すなど、圧迫感を回避するような配慮が随所に見られるが、根本的な解決になっているとは言い難い部分もある。
English: Additionally, even today, nearly ten years after the construction, there are still many negative opinions stating that the form, with its heavy use of half-mirror crystals and aluminum panels, doesn't match the ancient capital.
Japanese: また、ハーフミラーのガラスやアルミパネルを多用した造形が古都に相応しくないとして、建設から10年近く経った今日でも否定的な意見も少なくない。

Japanese: 伊勢丹側の大階段は10階分の高低差があり、非常時の避難経路とする事を想定した。
English: The staircase is also used for concerts and events, such as the 'JR Kyoto Station Building Grand Staircase Dashing-up Competition'(sponsored by Kyoto Broadcasting System) held in February of each year.
Japanese: 階段はコンサートや、毎年2月の「JR京都駅ビル大階段駆け上がり大会」（主催：京都放送）などイベント会場としても利用される。
English: It has a three-layer structure: a ticket wicket (Hachijo-guchi (Hachijo entrance/exit)), the station office and Meitengai shopping arcade are located on the first floor; the platforms and a ticket wicket (Chuo-guchi (Central entrance/exit)) are located on the second floor (a ticket gate was located inside the JNR/JR Station for a long time with a ｔicket machine for transfer, but when the new station building was constructed and the Nanboku-Jiyu-Tsuro was made, the ticket wickets of the two companies were fully separated); and the third floor has the platforms for the JR Central Shinkansen.
Japanese: 3層構造で、1階は改札口（八条口）・駅事務室・名店街、2階がホームと改札口（中央口、この改札口は開業当初から長らく旧国鉄→現JR京都駅の内部にある形で乗換用の改札機もあったが、現京都駅ビル建設および同駅南北自由通路設置に合わせて両社の改札口は完全分離化された）、3階はJR東海の新幹線ホームとなっている。
English: The platform's effective length is six cars (until the latter half of 1990s, when the Nanboku-Jiyu-Tsuro became available, there was a ticket booth at Karasuma-guchi (Karasuma entrance/exit), at which a teller would attend to individual passengers).
Japanese: ホーム有効長は6両（駅が4代目駅舎となり南北自由通路が通行可能になった1990年代後半より以前には烏丸口に有人個別対応の券売窓口が存在していた）。
English: As part of the station's renewal, on December 1, 2007 the ticket gate and ticket booth were closed, and the commuter pass booth and station office (among others) were transferred and centralized to the ticket gate (Chuo-guchi) on the second floor.

Japanese: 赤い自動改札機(EG-2000)は出場時2枚一括処理、PiTaPa・ICOCAに対応する。
English: Platform 1 and 2 employ the divided system for incoming and outgoing passengers (at both ends of the track, two platforms--one for incoming passengers and the other for outgoing passengers--are placed to divide the flow of passengers).
Japanese: 1・2番線は乗降分離（線路の両側に乗車専用ホームと降車専用ホームをそれぞれ配置し、旅客流動を分離する事）型となっている。
English: Platforms are situated in the following order from the south: incoming platform for Platform 1, outgoing platform for Platform 1 and 2; the incoming platform for Platform 2; and the incoming and outgoing platform for Platform 3.
Japanese: ホーム配置は南から1番線乗車ホーム、1・2番線降車ホーム、2番線乗車・3番線乗降車ホームの順である。
English: On December 22, 2005 Kintetsu Corporation announced the construction of another line on the north side of Platform 3.
Japanese: 近鉄は2005年12月22日、3番線の北側に1線増線すると発表した。

English: Platform 4 is constructed with a one-sided structure; the work is scheduled to start in April 2008 and be completed in spring 2012.

Japanese: 当初は、新橋-横浜間の鉄道に続いて2番目に開業した、神戸-京都間鉄道の終着駅であった。
English: Later, a railway opened from Kyoto to Otsu, but at that time the route proceeded toward Otsu, through the site where the Meishin Expressway in fact runs, after going far down to the south near the present Inari Station on the Nara Line, because the drilling technology needed to cut a tunnel through Higashiyama (Kyoto Prefecture) wasn't available.
Japanese: 後に京都から大津までの鉄道も開業するが、この時のルートは東山(京都府)にトンネルを開削するだけの技術がまだなかった事から、現在のJR奈良線を稲荷駅周辺まで南下した後、現在の名神高速道路が走っている敷地を通って、大津へと向かうものとなった（大津駅の項目も参照）。
English: Subsequently, with the opening of the Sanin Main Line the station became the departure and arrival point of the Nara Electric Railway and the city trams (Kyoto City Trams), so the area around the station developed rapidly.
Japanese: その後山陰本線が開通し、後に近鉄京都線となる奈良電気鉄道や市内の路面電車（京都市電）の発着点にもなって、京都駅周辺は急速に発展していった。
