Kyoto, a city that perfectly blends history and modernity, nature and culture. Whether you're looking for peace of mind or exploring the depths of culture, the possibilities are endless.
Yukio Mishima's masterpiece "Kinkakuji" was inspired by a real event in the city of Kyoto - the burning of Kinkakuji Temple in 1950.
This novel not only captures the cultural aesthetics of Kyoto, but also profoundly depicts the complexity of human nature and the pursuit of beauty.
Kinkaku-ji itself, which has long been known for its magnificent gold-leaf decorations and exquisite architectural design, is one of Kyoto's iconic attractions.
The burning and reconstruction it has experienced symbolizes the conflict and fusion of material and spiritual beauty. The temple is not only a cultural symbol of Kyoto, but also a reflection of the complex emotions and philosophies of the Japanese people about the relationship between beauty and destruction.
Through this novel, Mishima incorporates Kyoto's traditional aesthetics and philosophical reflections into the story, allowing readers to experience the city from a unique perspective.
Kyoto, formerly known as Heian-kyō, means "the capital of Heian". The city's design is heavily influenced by the ancient Chinese capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, with a traditional feng shui layout. For more than a thousand years, Kyoto remained the imperial capital of Japan until the Meiji Restoration in 1869. Having survived large-scale destruction in World War II, Kyoto has been able to preserve a large number of pre-war architectural remains and cultural heritage.
For visitors, Kyoto offers a unique cultural experience where you can visit ancient temples and shrines, experience traditional Japanese tea and flower arrangements, or enjoy a quiet stroll through the ancient streets. Cherry blossom viewing in spring and autumn foliage are two of Kyoto's peak tourist seasons, and the natural beauty of these seasons complements the historic architecture of the old town, providing visitors with an attractive visual and cultural feast.
Today, we will take you to Kyoto and enjoy the intersection of living history and modern culture.

Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto
Stay 3, pay 2 discount
Enjoy room upgrade and $100 in-store spending privileges
In Kyoto, where the gods fight, the Four Seasons Hotel is naturally indispensable among the many luxury hotels.
Officially opened in 2016, Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto is one of Four Seasons' outstanding urban resorts. And unlike many luxury hotels that strive to showcase Kyoto's classic Japanese elements, this Four Seasons Hotel is tucked away in the ancient capital and retains the modern and classic style that the Four Seasons are accustomed to.
Of course, the best thing about the Four Seasons of Kyoto is its unique location: it is tucked away among Kyoto's many temples, and it also pays homage to the garden art of Kyoto, Japan, in the public areas of the hotel, showing the beauty of Japan in a very fresh and elegant way.
Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto is located next to the 800-year-old Japanese garden Tsukisui Garden, which dates back to the Heike Monogatari period, and offers a luxurious view of time flowing through your fingers.
You can sit back and enjoy the romantic cherry blossoms in spring, the swaying bamboo forests in midsummer, the gorgeous autumn leaves in autumn, and the soft winter snow through the large windows, which is exactly what the "Four Seasons" brand is all about.
The main entrance is hidden at the end of a long stone path separated from the ancient temple wall, and the designer has set the arrival path as a bamboo forest, so that guests can come to a quiet and pleasant Japanese garden.
Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto has a total of 123 guest rooms, including 13 suites and 57 luxurious private apartments. Each room features Japanese craftsmanship elements such as washi paper, sliding doors, and lacquerware, and sunlight filters through the branches of the trees through the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating an unobstructed view of the sparkling garden.
Slowing down is the most important principle of visiting Kyoto. Four Seasons Kyoto offers a 24-hour spa, sauna and fitness center, and even its own swimming pool, where you can indulge in exquisite elegance with a wide range of equipment.

The Park Hyatt brand has always created a unique attitude of sojourn through restraint and a treatment of clean lines. Designed by Ji Yutang, who claims to be "one city for one work", the hotel's design is inspired by nature and the changing seasons of Kyoto, from cherry blossoms in spring to autumn leaves.
The original site of the hotel is a traditional Japanese restaurant restaurant "Yamasokyo Yamato". Arguably one of the best kaiseki restaurants in Kyoto, it is located in the middle of Kyoto's Historic Buildings Special Protection Zone. If you're staying at Park Hyatt Kyoto, a kaiseki meal here might be a must-try.
The hotel is only 600 meters from Kiyomizudera Temple, one of the oldest temples in Japan, and only about 100 meters from Kodai-ji Temple next door. As a member of the United Nations World Heritage List, Kiyomizu-dera Temple is a sight to behold for its rich history.
The spirit of the supreme pursuit of quality in detail has been passed down from generation to generation to interpret the core essence of Japanese culture, and it is probably only when you actually go to Japan that you can truly understand the meaning of "meticulous care". And the "hospitality" that Park Hyatt has always been known for is the real reason why everyone is eager to stay.

🏨 Hoshino Resorts OMO
Rather than being a city sightseeing hotel, OMO is more apt to call it an urban explorer.
You can choose the best destination hotel according to your travel purpose and vacation style. The design concept is to integrate the hotel with the city and experience Japanese culture in depth.
The names of the hotels in the OMO series contain numbers, and the range of services provided varies according to the numbers, and the size of the rooms varies accordingly.
For example, OMO7 Asahikawa has a cafeteria, or OMO5 Kyoto Gion and Kyoto Sanjo have cafes. You can choose different hotels for the same destination depending on the type of experience, or OMO3 Kyoto Toji Temple.
There are a few things that the OMO hotels have in common.
For example, the public facility OMO Base, which can be said to be an extension of the guest room, the lobby space is no longer lifeless, but has become a place where everyone can talk freely and exchange information.
From time to time, we will cooperate with nearby stores, and set up a Pop Up Store so that you can have a face-to-face exchange with Japanese craftsman culture without leaving the hotel.
In the Go-KINJO Map, a map of the surrounding area is posted on the wall of the public area of each destination hotel. It is a collection of good places that are not written in the travel guide, and the hotel staff will also mark the latest activities or fun places on it.
Some maps also show a comparison between the past and the present, so that first-time visitors can intuitively feel the rich history of the destination.
The hotel here hopes to let tourists better and fresher about the local culture through some of the food or shops marked on the map. So when you arrive at the hotel, don't forget to check the first thing to check what good places are nearby~
Local Guide Activities也算是每个酒店的标配了。

The aim is to give guests a glimpse into the deep culture of the nearby community.
