SANU 2nd Home Shirakabako 1st

A second home by the lake, living in harmony with nature

SANU 2nd Home is “another home” where body and mind can truly rest and your senses open up. Step back from busy city life, reconnect with nature through all five senses, and enjoy a second home where you live with your own hands. Among the SANU 2nd Homes across Japan, Shirakabako 1st sits in a bright forest. Canoeing, boating, and an amusement park are all within walking distance. Just behind the cabin is Shirakabako Royal Ski Resort—an ideal base for snow sports. The cabin’s white architecture is an eco-conscious design that lives in harmony with the environment. Inspired by honeycombs, it features a distinctive form and large windows that frame the surrounding landscape. The space comes to life through seasonal views reflected in those windows and wildflowers arranged in the dining room vase. Morning: Quietly grind coffee beans on the terrace as sunlight filters through the trees. Afternoon: Put on a seasonal music playlist and let yourself sink into the sound. Evening: Toast with natural wine while listening to insects sing. Night: Add logs to the fire and lose yourself in thought. How you spend your time is entirely up to you. Find what feels just right for you here.
