SANU 2nd Home Yatsugatake 3rd

A second home at the foot of Mt. Yatsugatake, 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 3rd 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. This white-vessel-inspired architecture is an earth-loving cabin that reflects care for the plants and animals living in the mossy forest. The space is completed by seasonal views framed through large windows and by wildflowers arranged in the dining vase. A sunlit skylight and a design that brings natural scenery into view from anywhere in the Room connect indoors and outdoors, creating a life lived alongside nature. 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 as you drift into thought. How you spend your time is entirely up to you. We hope you’ll find what feels just right for you.
