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 - Smoke-free property ### 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 ![2 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, Internet](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/42000000/41380000/41373100/41373029/6da2b04c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shiki Homes | NATSU 夏 Shimogyo Ward - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-10&endDate=2026-01-11&selected=41373029&PinnedHotelID=41373029&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73120000/73119200/73119186/53ee8f3d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shiki Homes | KYOKA 鏡花 Central Kyoto - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-10&endDate=2026-01-11&selected=73119186&PinnedHotelID=73119186&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![3 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, Internet](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76340000/76339500/76339446/w1438h960x0y0-1d2dc296.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shiki Homes | SHINJIN 真心 Shimogyo Ward - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-10&endDate=2026-01-11&selected=76339446&PinnedHotelID=76339446&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119190000/119183100/119183079/2fe5fb61.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seiran | 青藍 Higashiyama Ward - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-10&endDate=2026-01-11&selected=119183079&PinnedHotelID=119183079&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (1Double bed, 2Single beds, 2Futons). | Free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/21000000/20130000/20126400/20126331/28a87c48.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kyo-machiya Stay Takasegawa Shichijo Shimogyo Ward - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 10 reviews £223 additional charges may apply 13 Jan - 14 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-13&endDate=2026-01-14&selected=20126331&PinnedHotelID=20126331&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Spa](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92460000/92452400/92452386/d22c1a9c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shulinso | 秀林荘 Minami Ward - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-10&endDate=2026-01-11&selected=92452386&PinnedHotelID=92452386&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36350000/36344200/36344131/34a9005a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 5\` to imperial palace & subway.

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.
