Guests can embark on a journey of wellness at Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, experiencing the city considered the cultural capital of Japan. This luxurious urban retreat draws inspiration from Shakusui-en, the 800-year-old pond garden nestled at the heart of the Hotel. The ultra-spacious wellness zone is spread across 100,000 square feet (10,000 square metres), offering one of the city’s largest hotel sanctuaries for relaxation and renewal. Kyoto is also the perfect place to discover Forest Bathing. Originating in Japan in the early 1980s, “Shinrin Yoku” is a form of nature therapy, based on the belief that simply being in nature and connecting with it through all five senses helps to ease stress, replenish energy, and create a sense of rejuvenation for a fresh start. Hosted at a nearby spot in Higashiyama, this 60-minute forest bathing ritual has been shown to reduce stress hormones, improve immunity, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Other wellness experiences include Zazen Meditation by the Pond, Yoga by the Pool, and a Morning Walk in Higashiyama, amidst all the historical landmarks.
