Fodor's Expert Review Aman Kyoto

1 Okitayama, Washimine-cho, Kyoto, Kyoto-fu, Japan Fodor's Choice

Tucked away in the hills not far from the Golden Pavilion, Aman Kyoto is one of the city's finest establishments, surrounded by an expansive forest garden of green moss-covered lawns and cobbled stone footpaths. The 26 rooms at this secretive, luxurious retreat have a tasteful Japanese aesthetic and include large hinoki wood bathtubs. Service is personal but never overbearing, and the two on-site restaurants, spa, and hot springs all exude top-end luxury.

  • rooms and facilities ooze with high-end class
