Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto is a luxury hotel located at the foot of Higashiyama, an area lined with temples and shrines. Within the hotel grounds lies Shakusui-en, a pond garden with 800 years of history, once mentioned in The Tale of the Heike. Blending tradition with modern design, the hotel offers a resort-like atmosphere throughout. Ranked No. 6 in Japan’s hotel category in Condé Nast Traveller (UK) Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, we invite you to enjoy a serene and refined stay that only a luxury Kyoto hotel can offer.

Nestled in Higashiyama, a district rich in history and culture and home to many temples and shrines including Kiyomizu-dera and the Kyoto National Museum, Saka Hotel Kyoto sits on a quiet slope away from the bustle of the main streets—so serene you can almost hear the grass rustle. Though a Hotel, it is filled with Japanese functionality and warmth, offering travelers after a busy day a peaceful place to unwind and feel at ease. After a deep sleep wrapped in our carefully selected beds, start your morning slowly with freshly brewed coffee, then head out for an early walk through Higashiyama to discover a side of the town you won’t see during the day. A relaxing bath after your stroll and breakfast will make the start of your new day in Kyoto truly unforgettable.
