An 800-Year-Old Shakusui-en Garden

At the heart of Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto lies Shakusui-en, a historic pond garden dating back to the Heian period. Meticulously restored to its original form, it features tranquil ponds, graceful stone bridges, and a traditional pagoda.

Underground Spa & Wellness Escape

Beneath the hotel, the spa unfolds as a haven of tranquility across two levels. Guests can enjoy a 20-metre indoor pool, whirlpools, sauna, and traditional ofuro baths. Treatments draw inspiration from Japanese wellness practices, including bamboo therapy, sake-infused baths, and Zen-style massages, all designed to rejuvenate both body and spirit.

Refined Rooms with Cultural Accents

Guest rooms reflect a seamless blend of modern elegance and Japanese tradition. Soft lighting from paper lanterns, shoji-style details, and sweeping views of temples or gardens enhance a sense of authenticity. Contemporary technology and plush amenities complement the tranquil design, ensuring both comfort and sophistication.

Tea Ceremonies & Culinary Journeys

Within the garden, Shakusui-tei tea house welcomes guests to experience timeless Japanese tea rituals in a serene setting. Dining options elevate the stay further—Sushi Ginza Onodera offers a Michelin-inspired sushi experience overlooking the garden, while the Brasserie and Lounge & Bar provide relaxed dining with panoramic views.

For travelers seeking a refined coastal escape, Four Seasons Resort Langkawi awaits with its fusion of jungle and sea.
