Sakura Season magic unfolds at Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto

Saturday, March 2, 2024

Experience the enchantment of sakura season at the Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, where magical stays and exquisite dining experiences are set against a breathtaking canvas of cherry blossoms. Nestled around an 800-year-old pond garden at the core of this modern sanctuary, the delicate hues of pink and white blossoms inspire awe and happiness in everyone who beholds them.

As Kyoto transforms with the blooms, it becomes the perfect backdrop for Hanami, the cherished Japanese tradition of cherry blossom appreciation. Renowned as a prime destination for those in pursuit of sakura, Kyoto’s quaint lanes, classic gardens, and historic shrines offer the ultimate scenes for cherry blossom viewing. Located in the vibrant Higashiyama district, the Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto is steps away from the city’s most celebrated sakura spots.
