We stayed there for 3 nights in 2 rooms, we had a large suite and a regular room. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The property and grounds are scenic and pretty. The staff is attentive, no complaints. My kids loved feeding the koi and ducks. We used the pool 2x, it was nice. It’s a far drive to the bamboo forest and monkey park. The geisha district is about 10 minutes by car depending on traffic. The breakfast was good. Try to get a table outside. We would stay here again.

Four Seasons Kyoto is easily one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The service is exceptional and the location is ideal. The staff was attentive and accommodating to our whole family, and especially kind to our children. The grounds are immaculate and the ambiance is simply relaxing. Our children loved feeding the koi and ducks in the pond and wandering through the garden, and we all enjoyed the maiko performance the hotel hosts twice a week. The hotel also offers a range of experiences I highly recommend. We booked two private guided tours: a full day in Kyoto and another in Osaka (our driver and guide kindly adjusted the second day to include Nara, knowing our children would love seeing the deer). Both tours were incredible and were the highlight of our trip. Our driver and guide were truly amazing, and they made the experience unforgettable for our family. We also booked a kimono dressing and photography session, and the studio that partners with the hotel is outstanding. We were even able to use the hotel's beautiful pond and garden for the shoot. Throughout our stay, communication with the staff was top-notch. They reached out proactively to make sure every activity was perfectly planned and every request was met. Our stay at the Four Seasons Kyoto was one of the most memorable parts of our entire trip to Japan, and we cannot wait to return!

We had a fantastic stay at the four seasons. The hotel is stunning with beautiful gardens you can enjoy. It is very close to most attractions. The staff and the service was beyond expectation. A special mention to Jamie from guest experience who helped us arrange our taxis, our dinners and made us feel very welcome. He was extremely attentive and really went above and beyond. We highly recommend this hotel, it is worth the pricy rooms.
