LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR LOCATION >

Much of what we view as the essence of Japan – from the tea ceremony

to ikebana, the art of flower arranging—was born in Kyoto, Japan’s

Imperial and cultural capital for over a millennium. Explore that heritage

in its well-preserved palaces, gardens and 2,000 temples and shrines,

which include 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Today’s Kyoto also

means cutting-edge industry and forward-looking art and design. And

it’s one of the few cities with four distinct, highly photogenic seasons –

each framed by the huge windows of Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto.

FASCINATING CITY OF CONTRASTS

Amidst the poetry of an ancient Japanese garden

hugging the lower slopes of Kyoto’s eastern

mountains, Four Seasons places you close to

Kyoto’s finest cultural assets – from Kiyomizu–

dera Temple gazing from the green hillside

above to Kyoto National Museum across the

street. Experience it all, secluded in space and

garden tranquility, ten minutes from downtown.

In our light-filled, contemporary guest rooms

and Hotel Residences, experience personalised,

insider access to Kyoto’s four-season delights.

WRAPPED IN NATURE

Let Four Seasons help you unlock the mysteries and capture the essence of Kyoto

FEEL THE TOUCH OF LUXURY

Exhilaratingly contemporary Japanese design – steeped in Kyoto’s wealth of traditional artistry

Each guest room, suite or Hotel Residence blends refined, modern

aesthetics and the creations of Japanese artisans – in washi-paper lamps,

fusuma screens, or urushi lacquerware. Patterns of light and shadow

play from windows that include vistas of our 12th-century Shakusuien

Garden or the Myoho-in Temple rooftops next door. Some rooms have

a private balcony; some embrace unobstructed pond garden views.

Bathrooms reflect the soothing effects of water.

HAVENS FOR CONTEMPLATION

UNIQUE IN KYOTO

Our sun-washed restaurant and garden terrace offer stunning front-row seats to the four seasons of Kyoto

Explore the uncomplicated, seasonal menu at our relaxed, modern

brasserie, with its double-height panoramas of the garden. Sip Kyoto

craft beers on our waterside terrace, where the mood is tranquil yet

fun. Step up to our sushi bar for the sea’s freshest tastes, or share

them in one of our private dining rooms. Enjoy our specialty coffee in

our quiet lounge. Cross the glass bridge for matcha in our Tea House,

for new twists on tradition in the city where the tea ceremony began,

then return in the evenings for sake or champagne.

WORLD OF INTRIGUING CHOICES

YOUR PLACE FOR KYOTO HEALING

One of the city’s largest sanctuaries for escape and renewal lets you float in our pool or melt into bliss in the spa

Count brisk laps or float weightlessly on an underwater lounger in our

pool. Reward yourself in our serene spa rooms – including a VIP suite

for two – with restorative wellness therapies that apply the best of the

world’s techniques and gentle, all-natural ingredients. Fine-tune your

workout with a professional trainer using the latest gym equipment.

Afterwards unwind in our large whirlpool or stretch out peacefully with

a fresh-squeezed juice in a quiet nook.

REGENERATE, YOUR WAY

DRAMATIC VENUES FOR PRESTIGE

Create a gala event or elite meeting in the sophisticated ballroom,

accented by natural daylight through floor-to-ceiling windows and the

works of acclaimed Kyoto artists. Conclude successful business behind

artisan-carved cedar doors in our three flexible conference rooms.

Or celebrate new beginnings in our soaring, sunlit chapel, a one-of-a-kind

space inspired by gently swaying bamboo. In all cases, our resourceful

staff helps you craft an unforgettable event, expressly for you.
