Aman Kyoto

Aman · Forest resort ryokan-style retreat · Takagamine, at the foot of Mount Hidari Daimonji, north of the city

Set within a private 72-acre forested garden originally laid out by a textile magnate who never built upon it, Aman Kyoto is a study in restraint, its 24 rooms and two pavilions arranged across low pavilions among moss, maple and stone. The architecture by Kerry Hill answers the surrounding cedar with floor-to-ceiling glass, hinoki baths and tatami alcoves. A natural hot-spring onsen draws on the site's own thermal water.

Why we recommend it

The most secluded address in Kyoto, a forest sanctuary that feels a world away yet sits twenty minutes from Kinkaku-ji.
