SANU 2nd Home Niseko 1st

A second home nestled in a forest rising from the mountains, where you can live in harmony with nature.

SANU 2nd Home is your “second home” where body and mind can truly rest and your senses open up. Step away from busy city life, reconnect with nature through all five senses, and enjoy a second home where you live at your own pace, with your own hands. Among SANU 2nd Home locations across Japan, Niseko 1st is an ideal base not only for those who want to unwind in magnificent nature, but also for anyone looking to enjoy winter sports. Set on a highland overlooking Mt. Yotei, you’ll find clear streams, forests, and crisp air. In this wide-open Hokkaido landscape, you can let your thoughts wander, read a book, or simply savor the luxury of doing nothing. In summer, walk through the woods and listen to the river; in winter, be surrounded by a world of snow—enjoy a stay that lets you feel Niseko’s changing seasons. A standalone cabin design seamlessly connects indoor living with nature by uniting the living area and balcony. This earth-loving cabin reflects care for the plants and animals that inhabit the mossy forest. With an open workspace and a kitchen-dining area spacious enough to cook and share meals with family, friends, or a partner, it offers a comfortable second home that feels like an extension of everyday life. A sunlit skylight and windows positioned so natural scenery is always in view connect inside and out—supporting a lifestyle lived alongside nature. 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: Warm up slowly in your private sauna, then step outside for fresh air and deep breaths. Night: Add logs to the fire as you drift into thought. How you spend your time is entirely up to you. Find what feels just right for you.
