About this place
Kyoto Station is the city’s main rail hub, on the Tokaido Shinkansen and at the southern edge of central Kyoto. For drivers it is mostly a meeting and drop-off point, where you collect people off the bullet train before heading out.
The station is long and has two sides: the Karasuma side to the north and the Hachijo side to the south, where the Shinkansen platforms are. The Hachijo-guchi plaza was rebuilt in 2016 with dedicated pick-up and drop-off bays, which is usually the easier side to stop. The mapcode gets you to the station but not to a particular exit, so agree which side you are meeting on before you set off.

How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix. That is fine, because it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Kyoto Station?
- The mapcode is 7 526 856*36, pointing at a spot in 京都府. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 34.986191, 135.760063. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
