Relax with family or friends in the fully equipped contemporary kitchen, surrounded by designer appliances, top-of-the-line finishes and bespoke art. Wide windows frame views of the 800-year-old, 10,000-square-meter Shakusui-en, an ancient pond and garden that keeps the contemporary architecture rooted in the rich history and culture of Kyoto. Winding paths lined with trees and glittering waters web across the property, set at the foot of the Higashiyama Mountains, where a new panorama can be enjoyed with every season, from the cherry-blossoms of spring to winter’s snow-capped mountain peaks. Four Seasons’ amenities elevate the ownership experience to new heights, with full access to an indoor pool, two large whirlpools, a luxurious spa and salon, a fitness gym, restaurant and lounge, an expansive deck with inviting communal seating, and dedicated 24/7 concierge service.
As the former capital of Japan, Kyoto is steeped in thousands of years of rich history. Now widely known as the cultural capital of Japan, the bustling city is a popular tourist destination, home to ancient Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, countless gardens, and imperial palaces. The scenic Higashiyama temple district is a must-see destination for any lover of history, culture, or architecture. Adjacent to Myoho-in Temple, the Four Seasons Hotel Residences enjoys a location just over one kilometer from Kiyomizu-dera, one of the most celebrated temples of Japan and one of 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kyoto. The city is also a center of higher learning in the country. Among its institutions are Kyoto University, the second oldest university in Japan. A cultural mecca, Kyoto is just two hours from Tokyo via the Shinkansen bullet train, providing further ability to explore even more of Japan’s iconic landmarks.
