Around Uchiyama Gorge × Accommodation With Pillow Selection For Better SleepRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

Half embedded in a forested slope, half seemingly floating in midair—this donut-shaped architectural masterpiece can be walked around in a full circle. A highly original space featured in numerous architecture magazines and used as a filming location for the TV drama “Galileo.”【A one-of-a-kind sleep experience】 Beyond its striking form, the standout experience is actually the bedroom. The sleeping area is set within the earth, and the moment you step inside, you’ll notice its unique atmosphere. With minimal temperature fluctuation throughout the year and the comforting sense of being embraced by the ground, you’ll be gently guided into deep, high-quality sleep.【Enjoy it your way】 In the living room is a Steinway grand piano—the same model John Lennon loved. Play as inspiration strikes, stock up on local ingredients and lose yourself in cooking— or indulge in the ultimate luxury: doing nothing at all.【Our most popular option: Private Chef Plan】 Authentic Italian cuisine sourced directly from renowned nearby restaurants. We prepare signature dishes from these celebrated establishments at your table in this iconic architectural setting. We also offer a more casual Catering Plan for an easier dining option. As dining out or shopping requires traveling by car, we highly recommend considering our Private Chef service for dinner.【The luxury of slowing down】 Time spent here isn’t simply a trip to admire scenery—it’s a journey inward: toward yourself, your family, or close friends you can truly relax with. Deep conversations that arise only in stillness. Bonds that quietly grow stronger during unhurried moments. A chance to remember something important that may have been left behind in an ever-accelerating world. These moments at Rō no Ie are among today’s greatest luxuries.【Enjoy nature while staying in】 A car is essential to reach central Karuizawa or convenience stores. The building also prioritizes design over practicality by structure. But that is exactly what makes it so special—a true escape from everyday life, surrounded by nature. Perfect for seasoned travelers who embrace every inconvenience as part of the adventure—and for children too—this stay promises memories that will last a lifetime.

Located along the Chikuma River with views of Mount Asama, it is an ideal base for business use or exploring attractive tourist spots such as Karuizawa and Tateshina.
