SANU 2nd Home FERN Yatsugatake

[Nestled quietly in the forests of Yatsugatake] Your second home in Hara Village, surrounded by lush green ferns

SANU 2nd Home is your “second home” where body and mind can truly rest and your senses awaken. Step back from the pace of city life, feel nature with all five senses, and live by your own hands in a second home designed for everyday living. FERN Yatsugatake is a quiet retreat nestled in the forest at the foot of the Yatsugatake Mountains. Named after ferns—plants long cherished as symbols of longevity and good fortune—this home offers time spent with lush greenery, gentle breezes, shifting light, and birdsong. Enjoy activities unique to Hara Village, including trails to the Yatsugatake range and Mt. Nyukasa, as well as farm-to-table food experiences nearby. In the clear highland air at over 1,000 meters above sea level, the rhythm of daily life begins to soften and slow. Less than 25 minutes by car from Chino Station or Kobuchizawa Station. Follow a quiet road deeper into the woods, and a warm wooden house comes into view. The glow of a wood-burning stove, steam from a barrel sauna, dappled sunlight filtering onto the terrace—here, indoors and forest blend seamlessly, and how you spend your time is entirely up to you. Spend an evening talking around the fire pit or enjoy a movie night with the projector. In the stillness of the forest, make yourself at home in whatever way feels right.
