SANU 2nd Home Tateshina 1st

A quiet second home in the forest, living in harmony with nature

SANU 2nd Home is your “second home” where body and mind can truly rest and your senses open up. Step back from busy city life, feel nature with all five senses, and live by your own hands in this second home. Tateshina, stretching across the eastern foothills of Mt. Yatsugatake, is a highland retreat wrapped in cool air and quiet. Explore lakes and forests, take a drive along the Venus Line, or simply unwind at an easy pace while enjoying the changing seasons. This white-vessel 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 placed in a dining vase. A sunlit skylight and a design that keeps nature in view from anywhere in the Room connect indoors and outdoors, making it possible to live 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 lose yourself in thought. How you spend your time is entirely up to you. Find what feels just right for you.
