Flying ANA to Kyoto from the US
ANA business class to Kyoto starts at $2,450 round-trip through consolidator fares, roughly 40% below the $4,200 average retail price on this route. Kyoto has no international airport of its own, so every ANA business class booking to Kyoto routes through Tokyo Haneda or Narita, then connects via a 75-minute domestic hop or the Shinkansen bullet train, which most travelers actually prefer for the scenery alone.
The ANA Business Staggered cabin is the reason frequent Japan travelers pick this airline over its rivals. The 1-2-1 staggered configuration gives every passenger direct aisle access and a fully lie-flat bed around 78 inches long, with alternating forward- and rear-facing seats that create genuine privacy without a suite door. ANA's kaiseki-style meal service, developed with Japanese chefs, sets a different tone than typical Western business class catering — expect seasonal, multi-course presentations with sake pairings rather than a standard tray service. Cabin crew consistency and quiet, unhurried service are the two things past passengers mention most.
From the US, ANA flies nonstop to Tokyo from eight gateways: New York (JFK), Los Angeles, Newark, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, and Washington Dulles, covering 20 distinct route combinations into Haneda or Narita. Haneda is the better connection point for Kyoto-bound travelers since it sits closer to Tokyo Station for the Shinkansen, cutting nearly 45 minutes off total transit time versus a Narita arrival.
Pricing on ANA business class to Kyoto ranges from $2,450 to $6,800 round-trip depending on season and how far ahead you book. January through early March and September through early November are the cheapest windows, with fares often landing under $3,000 through BestBusinessClass.com's consolidator network. Cherry blossom season (late March–April) and autumn foliage weeks in November push fares toward the top of that range, sometimes 60% higher than shoulder-season pricing, so booking 3-4 months out during peak periods is worth the savings.
Japan Airlines is ANA's main competitor on this corridor, also connecting through Tokyo with a comparable 1-2-1 lie-flat product. The practical difference comes down to gateway coverage and meal style: ANA offers more US departure cities (eight versus JAL's six), giving travelers from Miami, Atlanta, or Chicago a nonstop option JAL doesn't match. JAL's cabin leans slightly more toward Western-style fine dining, while ANA's kaiseki service feels more distinctly Japanese — a matter of preference rather than a clear winner.
Booking through BestBusinessClass.com gets you access to these wholesale consolidator fares directly from the airline's private inventory, not the published rates you'll find on Expedia or Google Flights. A Personal Travel Manager will also help structure the Tokyo-to-Kyoto leg, whether that's a same-day Shinkansen connection or an overnight stopover in Tokyo, at no extra planning cost.

The The Room Experience
Seat TypeSuite with Door (The Room)
Layout1-2-1
Bed Length76 inches
Screen24-inch 4K
ANA's 'The Room' is widely regarded as one of the most spacious and thoughtfully designed business class products flying today, offering an almost first-class level of privacy with its high side walls, sliding partition, and dedicated storage console. The 1-2-1 configuration guarantees direct aisle access from every seat, and the sheer real estate — some of the widest in the industry — sets it apart from denser competitors. The main caveat is fleet consistency: this seat is currently limited to select Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, so travelers must verify their specific routing to guarantee they'll experience it rather than ANA's older Business Staggered seat. For those who can secure it, particularly on long-haul Tokyo routes to North America or Europe, it's a standout reason to choose ANA over other Star Alliance carriers.
Why Fly ANA to Kyoto
- Exceptionally wide, suite-style seat with sliding privacy door and 1-2-1 configuration guaranteeing direct aisle access
- Distinctive Japanese hospitality and washoku-inspired dining, including sake sommelier selections
- Dedicated ottoman space allowing two travelers to dine together face-to-face
- Strong Star Alliance connectivity through Tokyo Haneda and Narita hubs
Dining & Service
Service follows a distinctly Japanese rhythm: unhurried, precise, and detail-oriented, with cabin crew trained in both Western and washoku dining service. Meal service typically features a choice between Japanese kaiseki-inspired courses and Western entrées, often developed through ANA's rotating regional chef collaborations under its 'Taste of Japan' program, paired with a curated sake and wine list selected by in-house sommeliers. Amenity kits have featured Japanese-influenced spa and skincare brands in recent years, and pajamas or loungewear are typically offered on longer sectors. The seatback entertainment system offers a deep library of Japanese and international film and TV content, with noise-cancelling headphones provided at each seat. The standout is the seat itself — a wide, suite-like footprint with a sliding privacy door, ottoman that can double as a visitor seat for dining with a companion, and generous storage, giving the cabin a residential, uncluttered feel rarely matched by competitors.
Lounge Access
ANA Lounge
Located at Tokyo Haneda and Narita airports, featuring Japanese cuisine, noodle bar, sake and whisky selections, shower rooms, and serene interiors. The Haneda ANA Suite Lounge is exceptional for higher-tier passengers.
