Asama-Kakushi.The white cabin is an eco-conscious retreat designed in harmony with the earth. Inspired by a beehive, it features a distinctive form and large windows that frame the surrounding landscape. The space comes alive through seasonal views reflected in those windows and wildflowers arranged in the 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.
