#AmanJapan is the pinnacle of aesthetics combining culture and natural landscapes. Each of the three Aman hotels has a unique soul core:

1⃣ #AmanKyoto
🔹 The hotel is located in northern Kyoto, adjacent to the World Cultural Heritage site Kinkaku-ji. It covers 32 hectares, including 29 hectares of forest and 3 hectares of gardens. The entire hotel is surrounded by forests and mossy paths, as if living in a Studio Ghibli fairy tale! Enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, cool summer retreats, autumn maple viewing, and winter snow listening.
🔹 Four room types are named "Hotaru (Firefly), Momiji (Maple), Nara (Oak), Susuki (Silver Grass)," representing different seasons and landscapes. Spaces start at 60㎡, equipped with cypress wood bathtubs and floor-to-ceiling windows, each offering views of different natural scenery, blending seamlessly with the outdoor forest garden.
🔹 The hotel offers traditional geisha performances and activities such as Uji tea planting, yoga and meditation, and Zen meditation with monks.

2⃣ #Amanemu
🔹 Aman’s first hot spring hotel! The hotel is remote and quiet, nestled between mountains and sea within Ise-Shima National Park, overlooking Ago Bay’s sea views 🌊, close to Japan’s most sacred shrines. Thanks to its unique location, it is a natural adventure treasure.
🔹 32 suites and villas are hidden among mountain scenery, some with views of the pearl bay, others surrounded by Japanese gardens, and each equipped with a private Japanese hot spring. Soaking three times a day is a given.
🔹 There is also a 2,000-square-meter Aman Spa Center, featuring large hot spring baths and hot spring gardens.

3⃣ #AmanTokyo
🔹 Located at the top of the Otemachi Tower, Aman’s first urban concept hotel offers panoramic views of the Imperial Palace Gardens and various Tokyo landmarks and cityscapes. On clear days, you can even see Mount Fuji 🗻.
🔹 With washi paper sliding doors, tatami baths, and a 30-meter-high sky lobby, it perfectly blends traditional subtle aesthetics with modern minimalism.
🔹 From the 35th to 38th floors, there are 84 suites, with rooms starting at 71㎡, representing the height of luxury in Tokyo! Each room has an extra-large bathtub, and the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window views of the night cityscape are breathtaking.
🔹 Must-visit: the 30-meter indoor heated pool, where you can sip drinks while enjoying the city skyline outside the window; the café downstairs is nestled in a forest, offering tranquility amidst the urban buzz 🌳
