# Kyoto Tower Sando

Three floors of shops and workshops open off Kyoto Station. The basement food hall holds sixteen counters, from Korean food and gyoza to grilled skewers, udon and tempura, and crepes. Conveyor-belt sushi and a yakitori restaurant sit on the same level. The ground floor is a market of Kyoto sweet and tea shops, yatsuhashi among them. Above them, the second floor holds a wagashi class, a sushi seminar, a craft workshop and kimono rental. A public artwork built from Tahi Saihate's poems sits inside.
