This was by far our favorite stay throughout our travels. The grounds are absolutely stunning and the food was delicious. However, what completely stood out was the way the staff went above and beyond in the most genuine way to welcome not only the adults but also our children, ages 8 and 10. The kids absolutely loved being sent on a “mission” by the staff to search for key facts and clues to ultimately earn a reward for their exploration of the property. The freedom and pride they felt as a result was priceless. While swimming in the pool area the staff brought a pool float is and goggles (without us requesting) and made the kids experience an absolute delight. We have never experienced this kind of warmth and kindness as a whole. Thank you to the amazing staff. We feel such gratitude being able to share Kyoto with you during our stay. The entire property truly allows for grounding and is an overall wonderful experience.

This hotel offers a great experience with its exceptional service. However, I wish there were more dining options available, as the nearby area seems to be quite inactive. Additionally, the garden could be improved by installing better lighting to make it usable at night.

The Four Seasons kyoto is an exceptional, brand-new hotel that exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, everything felt pristine and thoughtfully designed. The rooms are gorgeous—spacious, elegant, and incredibly comfortable, with an attention to detail that truly sets this property apart. Cleanliness is impeccable throughout the hotel. Breakfast was outstanding—fresh, beautifully presented, and one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve had in Japan. The ofuro in the spa is divine—a serene, deeply relaxing experience and the perfect way to unwind after exploring the beautiful garden with beautiful shrine and koi fish. We genuinely loved every second of our stay. Four Seasons kyoto has raised the bar and is now one of our favorite hotels anywhere. We cannot wait to return.
