“Aman Kyoto strikes me as a place of considered tranquility, a secret garden near the Temple of the Golden Pavilion. The ryokan-inspired aesthetic appeals, but it's the promise of unique cultural experiences-Zen meditation, privileged access to ancient temples-that truly beckons. I imagine days spent between serene forests and the Aman Spa's onsen, punctuated by exceptional, locally inspired dining.”
