> there is barely anything around Kyoto station

This is simply not true. Kyoto station is probably the most densely packed shopping / entertainment area in the city.

Source: I live in Kyoto.

I don't live there now but I did for a long time.

The original comment was "I think that though we are a railway company, we consider ourselves a city-shaping company." Kyoto is absolutely not built around its station. Walk a few blocks away and there's nothing but regular apartments! The true centre is Shijo Kawaramachi.
