'This serene sanctuary sits in a 800-year-old pond garden where ancient emperors once strolled, offering an incredibly rare blend of imperial history and modern luxury in Japan's cultural heart.'What's Special?
Built around a historic temple pond dating back to the 12th century, this is the only luxury hotel in Kyoto where you can wake up to views of an authentic imperial garden. The property's tea ceremony pavilion floats directly over the ancient pond, and the hotel's ikebana master creates arrangements using flowers from the on-site gardens that once belonged to Japanese royalty.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the private morning meditation session in the temple garden at sunrise - you'll have the 800-year-old grounds completely to yourself before the city awakens.
Don't Miss
The floating tea house experience over the imperial pond, and a visit to the nearby Sanjusangen-do Temple (5 minutes away) which houses 1,001 golden Buddha statues - one of Japan's most breathtaking spiritual sites that most tourists overlook for the crowded Fushimi Inari.
