2 Four Seasons Kyoto
At Four Seasons Kyoto, intimacy is key. The temple district hideaway features an 800-year-old Shakusui-en, a pond garden which grounds itself in tradition, artistry, and natural beauty. The 10,000-square-metre circuit-style ikeniwa, is one of the last remaining gardens created at the end of the Heian Period, at the peak of Imperial Japan. Sunlight streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows every morning—and seasonal surprises in nature include blossoms in spring and greenery in summer. Enso (円相), in Japanese, means connecting the body and mind through the Zen Circle motion. Spa rituals at Four Seasons Kyoto do exactly that—it draws out the meditative realms of your inner and outer peace. Embark on an indulgent spa wellness break at this divine hotel—the results will not disappoint.
