An award-winning “transparent architecture that blends into the forest,” recognized by architectural prizes in Japan and abroad. A one-of-a-kind masterpiece, featured repeatedly in the media.【The ultimate luxury—inside extraordinary architecture】 Wake up to dappled sunlight and birdsong. In season, squirrels may even stop by to say good morning from the 3rd-floor bedroom. Outside the windows stretches an untouched forest with nothing to block your view; at night, only silence and a sky full of stars remain. To preserve nature as much as possible, only three trees were felled during construction. Put power and screens aside for a while—and do nothing. That time is the greatest luxury here.【Up to 3 bedrooms—ideal for multiple families】 Perfect for a quiet weekend for a couple and their dog, or for 2–3 families / 2–3 generations traveling together, or gatherings of 4–6 friends. By adding the optional detached annex “Ya no Ie,” you can expand to a 3-bedroom layout and accommodate up to 10 guests. It’s also popular as a “secret base” just for kids.【Most popular: Private Chef Plan】 Authentic Italian cuisine sourced directly from renowned nearby restaurants, prepared at your table in this architectural masterpiece. We also offer a more casual catering Plan. As dining out or shopping requires driving, we highly recommend considering the Private Chef option for dinner.【The luxury of slowing down】 Time spent here is not simply a trip to look at scenery—it’s a journey inward, toward yourself, your family, and close friends you can truly relax with. Deep conversations born from stillness; bonds that grow stronger in unhurried moments; time to remember what matters most—things left behind in an ever-accelerating world. These moments at Wa no Ie are one of today’s greatest luxuries.【Enjoy nature with an immersive stay】 A car is essential to reach central Karuizawa or convenience stores. The building also prioritizes design over practicality in its structure. But that is exactly what makes it so special: stepping away from everyday life and being surrounded by nature. For experienced travelers who embrace every bit of “inconvenience,” as well as children seeking adventure, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime memory. There are many stairs throughout; if you’re staying with children or pets, we can install baby gates free of charge for your peace of mind.

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.
