But then for Vari & NY to have spots on the website already, and even the Costa Rica one to have a promo video, yet nothing on Kyoto makes me think the 2019 date might be aspirational....

Although I hope not, as I am ready to visit that property as soon as it opens!
While not saying it will open by 2019, but that which appears dead is not always so!

Maybe they'll just 'open' it and announce it, like with Amanruya (reopening) without a huge preview etc? Think Amandayan was opened in a similar manner too.
