Aman Kyoto

Set in a hidden forest garden behind the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Aman Kyoto offers 26 pavilions and suites connected by meandering forest paths. Traditional Japanese wellness — onsen, forest bathing, tea ceremony — distilled to their purest form.

Aman Kyoto is a sanctuary hidden in the hills north of the city, accessible via a secret path through ancient forest. The 26 pavilions and suites are designed in Japanese minimalist tradition, each with forest or garden views. The spa programme draws deeply on Japanese healing traditions: Shiatsu, acupuncture, moxibustion, and traditional onsen bathing. Forest bathing programmes are guided by a resident expert.
