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!
With the shortage of rooms in the Kyoto hotel situation in recent years , still hoping Niwa opens next year , preferably before the RWC .
But with Kerry HILL ‘ s passing it still seems like a construction site though .
Suppose one can always make easy day trips from Osaka with more palatable hotel rates .. if not wanting to stay at FS , RC , ryokans or the PH - set to open next year .. But not an Aman !
Really will be a beautiful addition to the Amans in this lovely area with numerous UNESCO heritage sites .
