Agent Tips

A short drive away, Myoshinji Temple Complex is made up of 50 temples. Exclusive to guests of Aman Kyoto, a range of private experiences guided by the resident monks allow unprecedented access to this cultural landmark. Morning meditation sessions in the Myoshinji Tenkyuin or Daiouin Temples, tea ceremonies, calligraphy lessons adjacent to the philosopher’s path and Ikebana flower arranging lessons take place in areas of the complex not previously accessible to the public.
The ancient tea houses of the Geiko and Maiko require personal invitation to enter. Ambassadors of Aman Kyoto will accompany guests for an afternoon tour of an Ochaya Tea House, including a traditional ozashiki game, dance performance and conversation with the Maiko and Geiko. Upon request, guests may extend their stay to enjoy dinner in the tea house.
Craving a treat? Stop by The Living Pavilion for complimentary Kanmi Sweets from two to five pm and Aperitif from four to five-thirty pm daily.

Rooms + Suites

A secluded retreat moments from the center of Kyoto.

Aman Kyoto is situated in a once-forgotten secret garden. The hotel's latticed rooms and pavilions are strikingly minimalist with large windows that welcome the outside in — a nod to the traditional Japanese Ryokan inn. The Susuki and Nara rooms are spacious and light-filled, ingeniously crafted to foster peace and relaxation, while the Takagamine and Washigamine Pavilions offer these same luxuries in a more secluded setting. The intimate scale of the pavilions and their considered placement within the garden creates a unique blend between traditional Japanese architecture and contemporary design, while honoring the surrounding landscape.

Wellness

Tap into Japan’s plentiful natural apothecary.

The property offers a range of Aman signature and exclusive local treatments including Yoga and mindfulness sessions within the gardens.
