Location

The Four Seasons can be found in the traditional Higashiyama district of Kyoto. From here, you are just a 10-minute taxi ride away from one of Kyoto’s most famous temples, Kiyomizudera. It is also just a 15-minute walk to Shichijo Station located on the Keihan Main Line, and a seven-minute drive away from Kyoto station, another fantastic transport hub for the city.

Food and drink

Breakfast is served daily in the French inspired Brasserie restaurant, which is also open for lunch and dinner. The restaurant offers a set menu, à la carte options, as well as cocktails and hot drinks throughout the day. Here guests can enjoy waterside dining, with spectacular views over an 800-year-old traditional Japanese garden.

A more traditional dining choice is also available at the Michelin-Starred Sushi Wakon restaurant, offering guests the opportunity to interact with the world-class chefs as they are crafting each dish.

Japanese tea, sake and champagne is also served throughout the afternoon and early evening in the traditional Japanese Fuju lounge, which can be reached via the 'Shakusui-en' pond garden.
