UNLOCKING THE HIDDEN SECRETS OF KYOTO Discover the style and verve of today s Japan with an 800-year-old ikeniwa (pond garden) at its heart
CONTEMPORARY VIBE 1,000 YEARS OF HISTORY Number one on Travel + Leisure s World s Best Cities list for 2014 and 2015, Kyoto is a must-see for any connoisseur
FASCINATING CITY OF CONTRASTS 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. LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR LOCATION >
