Sunlight peeks through the tall, slender stems of bamboo that lead you to this intimate hideaway in Kyoto’s temple district. At the heart is the 800-year-old Shakusui-en, a pond garden that firmly grounds this contemporary hotel in tradition, artistry and natural beauty. Come morning, watch the sun illuminate the landscape outside your room’s floor-to-ceiling windows – cherry blossoms in spring, rich greenery in summer, vibrant red foliage in fall and snow-kissed mountain peaks in winter. Beguiling Kyoto keeps its secrets close.
Kyoto is one of Japan’s best-preserved historic cities, with intact palaces, gardens and hundreds of Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines from Imperial Japan’s golden age, balanced by a modern edge of culinary excellence, technology and a forward-looking art and design scene.
The hotel, at the foot of a mountain in the scenic Higashiyama temple district, puts you just 10 minutes from bustling downtown Kyoto, with many of the city’s most scenic sites just a short walk away. Want to take a quick ride on a bullet train to Tokyo? Kyoto Station, the biggest train hub in the city, is just a quick seven-minute drive from the Four Seasons Kyoto doors.
Kansai International Airport (KIX) is about 100 kilometres/63 miles from the hotel (90 minutes by car/75 minutes by train).
Osaka International Airport (ITM) is about 60 kilometres/38 miles from the hotel (60 minutes by car).
