SANU 2nd Home is your “second home” where body and mind can truly rest and your senses open up.Step away from the pace of city life,feel nature with all five senses, and live by your own hands in a second home.Among the SANU 2nd Homes across Japan, Kita-Karuizawa 1st is an ideal base for those who want to spend quiet time away from the city. Surrounded by greenery, you can lose yourself in thought or reading, or stay active with hikes such as Mt. Ko-Asama and Mt. Asama-Kakushi.This white, vessel-like architecture is an eco-conscious cabin designed to live in harmony with the environment. Inspired by a beehive, it features a distinctive form and large windows that frame the natural landscape. The space comes alive through seasonal views reflected in the windows and wildflowers arranged in a dining-room vase.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 and drift into deep thought.How you spend your time is entirely up to you.Find what feels just right for you.
