Aman Kyoto
Kyoto, Japan
In northern Kyoto’s Takagamine district, Aman Kyoto occupies a forest garden at the foothills of Hidari Daimonji mountain. Its 26 rooms, suites and pavilions reinterpret the Japanese ryokan with minimalist, light-filled interiors that open onto wooded grounds. The defining rhythm is quieter than a city-centre stay: wander mossy garden paths, then return to the Aman Spa’s indoor and outdoor onsen, supplied by mineral-rich spring water from near the resort.
