Kyoto Brewing Co. was started in Minami-ku in spring 2015 by three friends who'd met in Aomori, and it built its range on Belgian yeast. The taproom next to the brewery pours 200 ml and 400 ml glasses, with seats outside and in an air-conditioned room inside.

Most visitors only see Kyoto Station on the way in or out, which is a shame. Higashi Hongan-ji is 7 minutes north on foot and free, To-ji's pagoda is 15 minutes south, and at the railway museum to the west a working steam engine will pull you along. After dark, 15,000 LEDs light the station's 171-step staircase.
