Photographer: Brandon PresserHey friends, it’s Brandon Presser here, Bloomberg Pursuits’ field reporter covering emerging travel destinations, and the intersection of luxury and adventure experiences. I’m writing from the Aman Kyoto where forest bathing under the autumn koyo leaves and relaxing in the mineral-rich onsen hot spring are an integral part of a grueling research schedule….
I’m on the tail end of seven weeks of research across Asia to check out the bevy of new hotels, restaurants and activities that have opened over the last three pandemic-stunted years. About half of this trip has been spent in Japan, which holds a very special place in my heart after living here twice, and co-authoring three travel books about the country.
