Set in a secret garden at the heart of a forest, Aman Kyoto rests at the foothills of the iconic Hidari Daimonji mountain, in Kyoto’s northern Takagamine district. A stone’s throw from Kyoto’s golden Kinkaku-ji Temple and 16 other Unesco World Heritage Sites. But while you’re close to these beautiful sites, the resort is a secluded world apart. Light-filled suites and pavilions are set in tranquil glades, with generous windows making the most of the locale.
The floor-to-ceiling windows highlight the stunning views of maple and wild cherry trees, flooding the rooms with natural light. Inside, honouring Japan’s historic Ryokan inn, you’ll find authentic tatami flooring, wooden bathing tubs and tokonoma alcoves displaying flower arrangements and local artwork.
