Exterior

A Premium Villa in Harmony with Nature

All SONEKA villas are private, standalone rentals, and each one is naturally secluded for your privacy. Like a large bird resting its wings after landing on the earth, the villa is nestled into the landscape. The space is divided into a living wing and a bedroom wing extending from the central entrance like paired wings, and features include an open-air forest bath, a thermal pool seamlessly connected to the outdoors, a net bed floating above the ground, and a tree terrace hidden among the woods—thoughtfully designed so you can fully enjoy nature without leaving your Room. Inside, the villa is warmly appointed with carefully selected furniture sourced mainly from Asahikawa, Hokkaido.

Sample Meal Options

A Choice of Dining Experiences in a Nature-Rich Setting

SONEKA does not have a restaurant. Each villa features a dining terrace with a wood-fired grill and an indoor kitchen and dining area where you can enjoy wood-fired cooking. You can cook and dine as if it were your own vacation home. We also offer an in-villa private chef service, as well as dining experiences in nature-rich settings such as open grasslands, forests, or by the water.

    Set on a vast 30,000 m² grassland, “Meadow Terrace” is a private dining experience limited to just one party per day. Begin your special day in the serene stillness of the meadow.

    SONEKA will escort you to a specially arranged terrace standing at the heart of the expansive grounds, creating a luxurious moment found only here.

  • A Jomon Drum Performance Experience Surrounded by Flames and Heartbeats

    In a villa wrapped in the stillness of night, the tones of Jomon drums resonate with the flicker of firelight.
    This powerful heartbeat, passed down since ancient times, lets you feel the breath of the earth and naturally frees your mind.

    This experience begins with an impressive live performance by two professional performers. After surrendering to rhythms that reverberate deep within your body, you will move on to a hands-on workshop where you can touch the Jomon drum and create sounds yourself.
    Following the performers’ guidance as you keep the rhythm, enjoy the sensation of sound and body becoming one. A single strike echoed amid the warmth of fire, crisp night air, and surrounding nature will become a truly special experience unlike anything in everyday life.

    The session concludes with another professional performance. The deeper connection to sound gained through this experience will linger in your heart as a rich afterglow.

    A moment connected through sound beyond words.
    Share one rhythm with everyone present and spend time becoming one with nature.

    [Duration: Approx. 30 minutes]
    - Live performance by professional performers (approx. 5 minutes)
    - Jomon drum workshop (approx. 20 minutes)
    - Finale performance (approx. 5 minutes)

    A special night woven from nature, fire, and sound.
    Enjoy an unforgettable experience available only at SONEKA.

    *As this Plan requires arranging performers, please apply at least 30 days before your desired date of use. Applications made within 30 days may not allow us to secure performers.*
