About Kyoto
Kyoto, often referred to as the cultural heart of Japan, served as the imperial capital for over a thousand years and remains famous for its well-preserved temples, Shinto shrines, and traditional wooden houses. As you explore Kyoto’s historic streets, especially in the Gion district, you may even catch a glimpse of a geisha gracefully walking to an appointment—a timeless sight that embodies the city’s rich heritage.

For private jet travellers, Kansai International Airport (KIX) is the nearest terminal with dedicated luxury facilities, located about 90 minutes from central Kyoto. This seamless arrival option ensures that high-end travellers can journey directly to Kyoto with ease, enjoying the city’s splendour just moments after landing.

Kyoto is home to some of Japan’s most renowned landmarks, including the iconic Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), a Zen temple covered in gold leaf and reflected beautifully in the surrounding pond. Another must-see is the Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for its thousands of vibrant vermillion torii gates that create a mystical path through the hills.

Nature in Kyoto is especially breathtaking, whether during the cherry blossom season in spring or amidst the red and orange foliage of autumn. The Philosopher’s Path, a scenic stone walkway along a cherry-lined canal, is perfect for peaceful strolls, while Kyoto’s Zen gardens, like the rock garden at Ryoan-ji Temple, are renowned for their tranquility.
Culinary traditions are integral to the Kyoto experience, with kaiseki dining—multi-course meals highlighting seasonal ingredients and artistry—offered throughout the city. Visitors can also partake in traditional tea ceremonies at historic tea houses, where finely powdered matcha tea is served in serene, meditative settings. Arriving by private jet adds a touch of luxury, allowing travellers to immerse themselves in Kyoto’s timeless culture with ultimate ease and sophistication.
