Aman Kyoto
Kyoto, Kyoto, Japan · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
A remarkable setting, at one with the city's artistic soul Aman Kyoto represents the fruition of a beautiful landscape first conceived as the garden of a textile museum. Whimsical stone pathways curve gently along the forest floor, and stone slabs blanketed in moss serve as the foundations for the resort's architecture. The secluded grounds are part of what was an artistic community that gave rise to the revered Rinpa school of painting some 400 years ago, and are within easy reach of Kyoto’s most important sites, including the stunning golden temple, Kinkakuji.
Just a mile from famed Buddhist temples lies a secret forest garden and Aman Kyoto. Surrounded by ancient woodlands that once offered refuge to a revered artist community, this secluded sanctuary pays homage to the traditional ryokan (Japanese inn), albeit in strikingly modern style. Moss-covered stone pathways wind between latticed pavilions that house 26 minimalistic rooms; healing onsen baths source their waters from nearby mineral springs. Practice yoga, take a mindfulness hike, or explore Kyoto’s 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites.
