Within walking distance of the golden, glittering Kinkanku-ji temple, Aman Kyoto is a series of standalone pavilions within a shrouded secret garden. The 80-acre site spans stone pathways, forested hillsides, medicinal hot springs and lovingly tended-to lawns, with stairs leading to the tree-lined upper levels for views across to Mount Hiei in the distance. The rooms riff on classic ryokan inns: wooden soaking tubs, tatami flooring and tokonoma alcoves offering artefacts to reflect on, only this time with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the spectacular natural surroundings. And the onsens on-site mean you can really get to know your fellow guests. 

  

This Aman outpost is in temple-toting Kyoto, once the country’s capital, on the island of Honshu.
