JAPAN EASE
THE SPA
The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto
One of Kyoto’s newest hotels enjoys one of the city’s best locations, on the banks of the Kamo River with unbroken views of the Higashiyama mountain range. Impeccably styled rooms and suites are fitted with Japanese artwork, handmade soaps and tea sets for windowside ceremonies. Really, the only reason you should drag yourself away is for a treatment in the spa, a calming union of cool stone, teak and water features. If you’re looking to bliss out, book the ‘Ryokucha Serenity Ritual’, using antioxidant-rich tea leaves
