Relax in the natural Onsen waters at a triangular-roofed villa surrounded by the lush greenery of the Ariake Mountain foothills.

A private, whole-house villa nestled in a lush forest at the foot of Mt. Ariake, an outlying peak of Mt. Jonen in the Northern Alps, Azumino, Shinshu. Its distinctive equilateral-triangle design offers a relaxed space where adults and children alike can enjoy time together freely and comfortably. Savor the beauty of nature in every season up close while enjoying BBQs on the terrace and a natural Onsen. This award-winning building received an Excellence Award in the long-established “Architectural Works Award” from the Nagano Association of Architectural Firms. * A prestigious award evaluated on five criteria, including excellence in design, structure, and functionality, as well as consideration for the global environment (designed by Kurahashi Architectural Planning Office).

  • We stayed here on a trip with our grandchildren, and they had a wonderful time—reading while relaxing on the swing and hammock, roasting and eating marshmallows over the campfire, and enjoying the open-air bath from the morning. There were amenities for children, and although he’s a boy, the owner even gave him a gift intended for women, which made him very happy. Next time they’ve requested an outdoor barbecue, so we’d love to stay here again.

  • This was our first time staying here, and even though we made the Reservation just three days in advance, we were truly impressed by this wonderful Accommodation.When we contacted you to let you know we would arrive earlier than planned, you kindly shared recommended spots nearby.You also introduced us to a great butcher and a supermarket, which was very helpful.The Onsen was also excellent, and next time we’d love to come back in summer for a Multiple Night Stay.The snowy scenery was amazing!
