SANU 2nd Home Yatsugatake 1st

A second home nestled in a lush, green forest—living in harmony with nature

SANU 2nd Home is “another home” where your mind and body can truly rest and your senses can open up. Step back from busy city life, feel nature with all five senses, and live with your own hands in a second home. Among the SANU 2nd Home locations across Japan, Yatsugatake 1st is a base set in a highland area surrounded by majestic mountains. With scenery that changes through the seasons, a short drive offers sweeping views of Yatsugatake, the Southern Alps, Mt. Fuji, and more. The white vessel-like architecture is an eco-friendly cabin designed to live in harmony with the earth. Inspired by honeycombs, it features a distinctive form and large windows that frame the natural landscape. The space comes to life through seasonal views reflected in those windows and wildflowers arranged in the dining room vase. In the morning, quietly grind coffee beans on the terrace as sunlight filters through the trees. In the afternoon, play a seasonal music playlist and let yourself sink into sound. In the evening, toast with natural wine while listening to insects sing. At night, add logs to the fire and lose yourself in thought. How you spend your time is entirely up to you. We hope you’ll find what feels just right for you.
