SANU 2nd Home Karuizawa 2nd

A second home embraced by nature, surrounded by majestic mountains

SANU 2nd Home is “another home” where your mind and body can truly rest and your senses open up. Step back from busy city life, experience nature with all five senses, and live by your own hands in a second home. Among the SANU 2nd Home locations across Japan, Karuizawa 2nd is an easy 20-minute drive from Karuizawa Station, set amid majestic mountains and forests. Loved as a summer retreat, this area blends nature and culture, with its own distinctive food scene and local community. This standalone cabin seamlessly connects everyday living with nature by uniting the living area and balcony. A cabin that expresses care for the plants and animals of the mossy forest—made for those who love the Earth. With an open workspace and a kitchen-dining area spacious enough to cook together and share meals with family, friends, or a partner, it offers a comfortable, well-equipped living space that feels like an extension of daily life. Sunlight pours in through skylights, and wherever you are in the Room, windows frame natural scenery—linking inside and out for a lifestyle 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 the 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. Find what feels just right for you.
