Perched in the Takagamine Mountain foothills where a legendary Japanese painting school once thrived, ROKU KYOTO is a Forbes Five Star luxury hotel that leans hard into its setting. Cherry-blossom walkways, a heated outdoor pool, and a spa fill the time between doing very little. The wabi-sabi ceramics in the tea house and locally sourced minibar snacks signal that this is not, despite the international branding, a place that could be anywhere.
