The main building of Kyoto Station, built 10 years ago, is not possible\nto adequately describe. It's a marvel<\/span> of human engineering and visual\nslight of hand. I've been there many times (the first being not long after\nits grand opening, the day after my wedding), but I still<\/span> always find\nsomething about it that surprises and delights me. Considering that in all\nthe times I've been there, I've only really seen a total<\/span> of about 10% of\nthe place, so I've still got a lot<\/span> to look forward to.<\/p>\n\n

In a future post I will attempt to instil an appreciation for just how\namazing and impossible-to-describe a place<\/span> it is, but for this post, I offer<\/span> just a few<\/span> random pictures.<\/p>\n\n
