SANU 2nd Home North Karuizawa 1st

Live in harmony with nature—your second home nestled in a forest with a gently flowing stream.

SANU 2nd Home is your “second home”—a place to rest body and mind and awaken your senses. Step away from the rush of city life, feel nature with all five senses, and live by your own hands in a true second home. Among the SANU 2nd Home locations, Kita-Karuizawa 1st is an ideal base for those who want to unwind in peace, far from the urban bustle. Surrounded by greenery, you can lose yourself in thought or a good book, or spend your time actively with hikes on Mt. Ko-Asama or Mt. Asama-Kakushi. The white cabin is an eco-conscious design that lives in harmony with the environment. Inspired by a beehive, it features a distinctive form and large windows that frame the surrounding landscape. The space comes alive 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: play a seasonal music playlist and let yourself sink into sound. Evening: toast with natural wine while listening to insects sing. Night: add logs to the fire and drift into deep thought. How you spend your time is entirely up to you. Find what feels just right for you.
