When I grew up in Kobe I went to Kyoto quite often, back then Kyoto Tower didn't exist, but the JR (Japan Railways) station did. Most of the department stores would sport a "Beer Garden" on the roof and then, just as now, there's rooftop gardens and driving ranges on most buildings

From my high school back windows we could see the cows grazing up on the hilltop - "Kobe Beef"

So, where and what is this?

(The Japanese love using foreign terms. "Platz" means "place" in German, so this would be some sort of place/open ground near Kyoto JR Station)
