Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto

We really enjoyed our stay there. Amazing location, friendly staff and excellent service! Highly recommended. And please try the ritual of tea!

Amazing property and an amazing team. The service from A to Z was outstanding, flawless. The concierge team took care of all our itinerary planning with great precision, made our trip so efficient and enjoyable. Thanks to the whole FS team for the incredible experience and hope to come back soon!

Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto was one of the highlights of our three week trip to Japan. Despite arriving in humid and rainy conditions, we were greeted with the utmost care and kindness. Upon entering Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, you are immediately in awe of the masterful blend of modernity and contemporary style. It is truly one of the most beautiful properties that I've ever had the pleasure to see and stay in. Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto is also located fairly close (but far enough away to ensure comfort and peace) to all that Kyoto has to offer. As is expected with any Four Seasons property, the service was supremely outstanding - everyone provided world-class service, whilst still making you feel welcome and comfortable. I would like to especially highlight Suri's service in the boutique - we had a wonderful conversation as I made some purchases during our last day in Kyoto. Personally, my favorite part of Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto was Shakusui-en, the 800-year-old heritage pond garden at the heart of the property. Seeing it every morning as I came down the elevator, or while meandering around a lazy afternoon and feeding the koi, or even when coming home from a long day of exploring brought utter tranquility to my senses. The grounds around Four Season Hotel Kyoto are also extremely peaceful and allow you to imagine what it must have been like in days of old. Overall, our experience at Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto was nothing short of magnificent. From the moment we entered, to the moment that we sadly had to leave, I was absolutely mesmerized, leaving a long-lasting impression on me weeks after returning home.

Everything was perfect. The environment was incredibly kid-friendly, and we received a warm welcome from Anita, the director, who offered us dinner reservations. The staff was bilingual, including the valet, reservation team, dining staff, and concierge, which made our experience even better. The property itself was serene and stunning, with exceptional and complimentary activities, music, and experiences available. Our rooms were spacious, beautiful, and comfortable. There was a wide variety of dining options, all of which were outstanding. We particularly enjoyed dinner at the Emba Kyoto Grill, where the food and service were excellent. We dined outdoors, overlooking a picturesque pond with steam rising above it at night. We also enjoyed beverages at the quaint tea house. The concierge team took care of all our activity bookings, including a lovely afternoon tea on the property, and arranged for a driver to escort us to Kyoto Station, where we boarded the bullet train. Thank you, Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto!

My wife and stayed for a week in early May. We are both retired , world travelers, and Four Seasons is our first choice if available at our location. The Kyoto Four Seasons stood out for friendliness, attention to detail, cleanliness, and overall experience. The staff were extremely attentive, even remembering our preferred booth at breakfast each morning. The location is where you want to be with a taxi waiting to take you to all the best sites no more than, at most, a ten minute ride. Highly recommended. Cheers.
