About this property
Shiki Homes | KUMEI 空明
Kumei is a laid-back, well-designed, machiya-inspired Kyoto home with plenty of attractions, charm, and style. 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.
