Set in a secret garden at the heart of a 32-hectare forest, Aman Kyoto lies at the foot of Mount Hidari Daimonji, a stone’s throw from Kyoto’s golden Kinkaku-ji Temple and 16 other Unesco World Heritage Sites. The resort is nonetheless a secluded world apart: moss-covered boulders glow emerald-like in the lush undergrowth, winding footpaths link tranquil forest glades, and streams provide a soothing soundtrack broken only by bird-song. Aman Kyoto’s 26 latticed guest rooms, suites and pavilions pay contemporary homage to the traditional Japanese ryokan inn, strikingly minimalist in their geometry while framing spectacular natural surroundings. Starting at 60 square metres, interiors are spacious and light-filled, ingeniously crafted to foster peace, relaxation and contemplation at every turn. Set in tranquil woodland, the resort’s Aman Spa presents a wellness offering defined by nature in every way. Mineral-rich waters feed traditional onsen, while a range of treatments tap into Japan’s plentiful natural apothecary. Both the elegant spa reception area and the relaxation lounge claim mesmerising forest views, as do three spacious treatment suites.
Aman Kyoto is a place of untold beauty, where small jizo statues sit among te yamamomiji maples. The resort perfectly tempers privacy, relaxation and rejuvenation with the vibrancy of Japan's ancient Imperial capital, home to 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites. Aman Kyoto is an architectural masterclass in eschewing the obvious while embracing the subtle - a picture frame for a location as peaceful as it is otherworldly. Aman Kyoto is situated in a secret garden at the foothills of the iconic Hidari Daimonji mountain, in Kyoto's northern Takagamine district. The resort is moments from the centre of Kyoto, and within walking distance of Kinkakuji golden temple. Aman Kyoto’s latticed pavilions are a contemporary homage to the traditional Japanese ryokan inn, minimalist in their geometry, and each serving as a window onto their spectacular natural surroundings. Offering six room categories, including two ‘presidential suites’ located in the Washigamine and Takagamine Pavilions, all accommodation at Aman Kyoto offers leafy seclusion with garden views, and supreme privacy. Traditional onsen bathing facilities – both indoors and open-air – deliver relaxation and healing, while dovetailing with a range of treatments that tap into Japan’s plentiful natural apothecary, from green tea to cold-pressed camellia oil. The Living Pavilion - this convivial dining space rests at the heart of Aman Kyoto, offering elegant interiors and a bar arranged around a central fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto an ornate terrace, with beautiful views of the surrounding gardens and forest. Open throughout the day and into the night, the restaurant serves both home-cooked Kyoto-style cuisines, and innovative and comforting Western dishes. Taka-an offers an invitation to experience the authentic Japanese art of hospitality, which is characterised by balance and equilibrium – and where the texture of the tableware is as important as the flavour of the food on the plate. In this fastidiously curated environment, every element – atmosphere, design and cuisine – work together, in harmony. Discover Kyoto’s secrets whether meeting a gracious geiko at a traditional tea house, meditating with a monk at Daiouin Temple, learning the art of Ikebana flower arranging or practicing calligraphy with a local expert.
