KBS Hall, Music venue in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto, Japan.
KBS Hall occupies the third floor of the KBS Kyoto Broadcasting Center and provides a performance space with 700 seats. The room hosts concerts, live recordings, and broadcasts, functioning as both an entertainment venue and production facility.
The interior features a stained glass artwork titled 'Creation' produced in 1970 by the artist couple Hikonosuke and Yasuo Tokuriki. This installation has been part of the space since the early period of broadcasting development in Kyoto.
The venue serves as a hub for live recordings and broadcasts of KBS Kyoto television and radio programs that reach audiences across the region. This role connects the hall directly to people's daily media consumption and local entertainment choices.
The venue is reachable from Marutamachi Station or Imadegawa Station on the Karasuma Line, both requiring roughly an 8-minute walk to the entrance. The central location in Kamigyo Ward makes access by public transportation straightforward.
Professional wrestling organizations like Pro Wrestling Noah and Dragon Gate regularly host matches here alongside concerts. This dual role as a music and wrestling venue is unusual among performance spaces in Japan.
