FOUR SEASONS KYOTO

An 800-year-old Shakusuien (pond garden) once owned by a wealthy samurai family underpins this luxurious retreat, where watching the seasons unfurl - cherry blossom in spring, flame-red foliage in autumn - is a joy at any time of year. Japanese design references are in evidence throughout, from the shoji paper lanterns in the tranquil lobby to the timeless guest rooms and suites with fusuma screens, urushi lacquerware and silk brocade cushions. There’s an excellent spa with a subterranean swimming pool, a complimentary children’s programme, and bicycles you can rent to peddle between temples in the surrounding historic Higashiyama district.

The sunny terrace at the Brasserie restaurant is the spot for breakfast; for dinner, nab a counter seat at Michelin-star Sushi Wakon, overseen by chef Rei Masuda, who has the fish flown in daily from Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji market. The Shakusui-tei tea house in the garden offers traditional ceremonies by day, Kyoto sake and premium champagnes by night.
