A one-group-per-day Hotel offering a spectacular view of the vast panorama and a wild English garden.

From the serene forests of Karuizawa, a drive along the Asama Sun Line at an altitude of 1,000 meters leads you to a world filled with bright sunshine and refreshing breezes. Welcome to Komoro City, Takihara. Nestled on the mountainside is "ASNOVA RESORT / Sora no Ie Garden." This is the fourth installment in the ASNOVA RESORT series. Just 30 minutes from Karuizawa Station, this location offers easy access to both the Yatsugatake area and charming spots in Miyota and Komoro. Discover delightful restaurants, shops, wineries, and museums nearby—a perfect base for enjoying both Karuizawa and Yatsugatake. The large windows offer breathtaking panoramic views of a wild English garden on-site as well as majestic peaks like Hotaka-dake, Yarigatake, and even Mount Fuji. Witness stunning sunrises that paint the hills in vibrant hues, mystical seas of clouds, clear blue skies that stretch endlessly above you, sunsets blending orange and blue tones beautifully together—and during autumn through winter—an awe-inspiring starry night sky unique to this location. From November to April, while the garden takes on its winter attire with crisp air filling your surroundings—you’ll experience scenery distinct from summer’s charm. Dog lovers will be delighted: up to three dogs (any breed) are welcome free of charge! Let them roam freely through our expansive English garden bursting with colorful blooms. We can also arrange private dining experiences featuring local ingredients or recommend catering services. Enjoy BBQs out on our wooden deck for an unforgettable outdoor meal. Sora no Ie Garden offers a one-of-a-kind experience not found even in Karuizawa—a truly special time awaits you here.

  • I recently stayed at “Garden Above the Sky” for 2 nights and 3 days. The moment I stepped into the living and dining area, I was blown away by the dramatic Yatsugatake views filling the entire wall of large windows. The spacious living room was incredibly comfortable, and the view from the bathroom was wonderfully open—simply outstanding. The kitchen is truly professional-grade, with excellent Facilities, and I really enjoyed spending time cooking. In the beautifully maintained English garden, my dog (a French Bulldog) was thrilled and ran around happily. Mountain weather changes its mood every 15 minutes or so, but simply watching it shift from the terrace or indoors was a luxurious experience that never got old. This is a special Accommodation where you can forget everyday life and feel completely refreshed in both body and mind. I would love to visit again.

  • This was our second stay at ASONOVA RESORT after Hakone, and our first time in Komoro City. Just like in Hakone, it was a resort house where we could truly feel the kindness, consideration, and care for both people and dogs. The amenities—both for dogs and for humans—were all well stocked, making it very convenient and comfortable for us as owners of two large dogs. The garden was spacious and there was also a terrace, so our dogs happily ran around the large property. We would love to stay again.

Just a 30-minute drive from Karuizawa Station, Komoro City Takihara offers a completely different atmosphere from the misty Karuizawa area, with its refreshing and sunny breeze. Nestled on the mountainside is "ASNOVA RESORT / Sora no Ie Garden." Conveniently located near the Yatsugatake area, it is also close to charming restaurants, shops, wineries, and museums in Miyota and Komoro. This prime location allows you to enjoy both Karuizawa and Yatsugatake. It’s just a 5-minute drive from the Komoro Interchange on the highway. From large windows, you can admire breathtaking panoramic views of the Wild English Garden on-site as well as Mount Hotaka, Mount Yari, and even Mount Fuji. Depending on the season or time of day, you can take your time enjoying ever-changing sceneries such as sunrise hues, sea of clouds, clear blue skies during daytime hours, sunsets in warm tones or star-filled night skies. From around November to April when winter sets in for our garden landscape—crisp air enhances unique seasonal beauty distinct from summer months. We welcome up to three dogs regardless of breed (free of charge). If your dog shares bedding with you at home (Child Sharing Existing Bedding), they are welcome to do so here too! (Please note that any damages caused will require compensation.) Additionally enjoy exploring our expansive English garden filled with blooming flowers. Komoro is renowned for its delicious vegetables! Within walking distance lies local produce stands offering fresh vegetables directly sourced nearby; we can also introduce private chefs who prepare meals using regional ingredients upon request. On our wooden deck space BBQ grills are available for rent at an additional cost allowing guests outdoor culinary experiences! Sora no Ie Garden offers an extraordinary experience found nowhere else—not even in Karuizawa itself!
