Kyoto Ramen Koji 京都拉麺小路

A food court of famous regional ramen shops on the 10th floor of Kyoto Station Building, from Sapporo miso to Hakata tonkotsu. The easy way to sample several styles before a train.

About

Ramen Koji gathers around eight shops from across Japan on the top floors of the Kyoto Station Building, each serving its home style: Kyoto's own soy-based bowls, Toyama black, Sapporo miso, Tokushima, Hakata tonkotsu and more. You buy a ticket from each shop's machine and queue at its counter. The line-up rotates from time to time. Access is via the station's grand staircase escalators or the Isetan side elevators, and you can continue up to the Skyway walkway for free views.
