Relax in a warm, intimate retreat with just eight rooms, overlooking tranquil water features and a pine grove.
Senbon Matsubara, the most scenic spot along the Tokaido, captivated many artists and literary masters from the Meiji through Showa eras. In one corner stands a Japanese-style building created from the vision of a tea devotee who dreamed of hosting a grand tea gathering for 1,000 guests. Marking its 110th anniversary in 2023, it was revived as part of a project to pass Numazu’s treasured cultural heritage on to future generations, and has been reborn as a restaurant serving course-style Chinese cuisine reminiscent of traditional tea kaiseki. On an approximately 3,000-tsubo estate, an adjacent villa-like Accommodation offers eight guest rooms designed by architect Akira Watanabe. Blending seamlessly with the garden scenery below, it invites you to slow down and savor time at ease. Japanese and Western, classic and modern. Enjoy an incomparable hidden retreat where contrasting elements come together in perfect harmony.

Introduction of the Accommodation
Suki Collective Tea Pavilion: Su Collective Annex Villa
Senbon Matsubara in Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, offers magnificent views of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay. A serene and elegant location near Senbonhama Park, where a pine grove that escaped the ravages of war still stretches on. In one quiet corner stand a discreet cluster of tea pavilions and an imposing collection of private villas.
In 2006, a cluster of detached villas was added to this 3,000-tsubo estate, designed by architect Akira Watanabe. Built with the most natural of materials—wood and earth—the architecture inherits the traditions of sukiya style while expressing a contemporary Japanese aesthetic, creating harmony throughout the property. The rammed-earth walls, layered with sand and soil from the Fujikawa River, blend into the landscape as shifting sunlight continually changes their expression—at times firm, at times soft. The roof uses Yoshino cedar as a living material: left almost entirely in its natural state, it is laid densely and simply pressed into place from above. Fed by abundant spring water from Mt. Fuji, the reflecting pool offers a cool murmur in summer and catches warm sunlight in winter. At times it mirrors the building’s shadows on its surface, delighting guests with ever-changing seasonal beauty. Numazu Club—considered one of Akira Watanabe’s final works—offers moments of true bliss that go beyond what can be seen, inviting you to surrender yourself to its unique sense of time and space.
The thatched-roof nagayamon gatehouse at the entrance of the grounds and the sukiya-style building have been recognized for their historical and artistic value and designated as a National Tangible Cultural Property. Designed so that every room functions as a tea room, this collection of tea pavilions is filled with thoughtful details—each space features a different ceiling, along with low lintels inspired by Kyoto tradition, reflecting a meticulous commitment to design. One of the signature materials of this sukiya style is hand-blown glass, used lavishly in windows and glass doors. While sukiya architecture is traditionally built from wood, grass, and earth, this building makes generous use of mineral-based glass to create a sense of openness toward the garden even with low ceilings and lintels, allowing the glass to blend naturally into its surroundings. Relocated from Kyoto, the three-mat daime tea room has eaves extending in two directions and includes both a formal guest entrance (kijinkuchi) and a crawl-in entrance (nijiriguchi). Windows of varying sizes are placed at different heights along the walls, letting soft light filter through shoji screens into the room. From hand-blown window glass to an expansive ajiro lattice ceiling, Numazu Club is filled with rare materials and craftsmanship that cannot be replicated with today’s technology—truly a space defined by playfulness and refined luxury.
