With exposed wooden beams, earthy-colored walls, a modern kitchen and quaint, but elegant Japanese flourishes, like the classic wooden exterior and shoji-inspired sliding doors, it's the ideal meeting point between old Japan and the modern-day. The double-story, six-person-capacity home is a wonderful choice for traveling groups of all sizes. If you're looking for an authentically 'Kyoto' experience, then booking a stay at Kumei won't disappoint. It comes complete with a small Japanese-style garden and well out the back and futon bedding options. The home's blend of western and Japanese elements means guests can embrace Kyoto style without forgoing any additional comforts. Kumei is also located in a corner of Kyoto that can offer easy access to many of the city's main attractions while still being positioned far enough away from the city's major thoroughfares to ensure that your stay is as peaceful as it is convenient. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower ### Living spaces - Wood stove ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, cookware/dishes/utensils](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104150000/104141200/104141153/4505d5cb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kyosei 京星 Minami Ward - Hot tub - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Microwave 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=104141153&PinnedHotelID=104141153&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57540000/57538000/57537935/a4422e6d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A relaxing guest house with a scent of learning an / Kyoto Kyōto Central Kyoto - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=57537935&PinnedHotelID=57537935&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35670000/35669000/35668994/197f9ef1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Reikaku Kiyomizu-Gojo Geisha Area | Authentically restored Machiya Gion - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=35668994&PinnedHotelID=35668994&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88760000/88752700/88752637/732b0a2e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### This is a single building rental of a Kyomachiya that has been in existence since the Meiji Era (1868-1912).

Jan 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### Our house at Kyoto The house is beutiful. It was cold on the first floor and we were not able to adjust the heating. The secong floor was ok. The location was hard for Uber or taxi to get to. Walking to the metro was ok during the day. Our flight got cancel and it was not a possibility to cancel our first night because it was with in 48hrs from the check in. Your host is a company that handle the house. I usually get the owner as my host. I think having a location near the turist places would have been better for us. Is hard to get to the house and is not near any known places. ##### Claudia B.
