京都コンサートホール自転車でKyoto Concert Hall was built in 1995, on the anniversary of the 1200th anniversary of the ancient city. It is home to the Kyoto Philharmonic.
The hall is made up of three primary blocks: The Main Hall, The Ensemble Hall Murata, and the Foyer.
The exterior of the building is covered in terracotta panels. Principal architect Arata Isozaki chose a subdued silver or black color for the panels, which he felt would be suitable for a Kyoto structure.
Within the Main Hall, however, the circular Entrance Hall was built using limestone from Florence, Italy. Walking a gently sloping spiralling pathway, one heads up to the Foyer and the two Concert Halls.
The sound quality within is excellent.
The nearby area, Kitayama, is elegant. Close by are the city's botanical gardens and many places to dine and drink and shop.
