Old World, New Adventure

Kyoto, Japan

Step Into Tradition

This former imperial capital is the quintessential example of old world Japan, well-preserved in spite of the modern day comforts quietly blended in. Kyoto puts forth an air of mysticism yet charms you like a friendly geisha serving up some tea or sake.

Where You'll Stay

Banyan Tree

Start off with a Zazen meditation before dining on a traditional meal at a teahouse in Gion during the performance of a Maiko, a Geisha's apprentice. By night, return to the comfort of this conveniently-located Banyan Tree Private Collection residence after a full day of sightseeing and temple exploring.

High End Meets Tradition

Kyoto features a unique mix of shopping, where modern, high end fashion meets centuries-old traditional Kyoto crafts and specialty foods. Explore the city's largest shopping district along Shijo Street or wander through a flea market, held on the 21st of every month at Toji Temple.
