JCB Plaza Kyoto located inside JR Kyoto station building offers various services for its international members.

"JCB Plaza has services only available for its members. We have operators who are very knowledgeable about local area so they provide tourist information and help to find reservations for restaurants, hotels, and tour packages. JCB Plaza branches are placed in main tourist cities. But only in Kyoto and Tokyo do we have JCB plazas dedicated only to international members of JCB," said Kyoko Hirai of JCB Plaza Kyoto.

For JCB international members, JCB Plaza Kyoto offers various services which make travelling around Kyoto more reasonable and satisfactory.
