“According to JR West, at around 6:45 a.m. on the 12th, a station employee at Kyoto Station (Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City) contacted the control center, reporting that “there was a suspicious object on the platform.” To check for safety, services have been suspended between Takatsuki and Maibara on the Kyoto and Biwako Lines, between Omi-Imazu on the Kosei Line, between Kizu on the Nara Line, and between Sonobe on the Sagano Line.“
A cardboard box sealed with yellow tape was left on the platform……..
Turned out to not be a bomb but a variety of foreign snacks.
There must have been thousands of people who came and left the station this morning.getting to KIX took some creativity and a lot more money.

The JR West website says they are examining the interiors of stations on the Kyoto Line. They don’t mention why.
