SANU 2nd Home North Karuizawa 2nd

We enjoyed a relaxing family time at a lodge surrounded by nature. The environment was quiet and private, with minimal interaction with other guests, making it very comfortable. The interior was filled with the warmth of wood, giving us the feeling of truly escaping the city and immersing ourselves in nature. Even the seasonings showed attention to detail, and having children's cutlery available was a thoughtful touch that we appreciated. In the sauna, we enjoyed löyly sessions, while outdoor air baths allowed us to experience winter's unique charm with cold natural water and reclining chairs—making for a special time. If I had to mention one thing, understanding how to use some of the electrical appliances was slightly confusing; having instructions would make it easier to relax fully. Also, since there is such a wonderful wine cellar available, as a wine lover, I would have been even happier if there were better-quality wine glasses provided. It was such an amazing stay that I look forward to visiting again in another season!

The cabin, quietly nestled in nature, is surrounded by the warmth and scent of wood, offering a sophisticated design that ensures a comfortable and pleasant stay. Through the large windows, you can enjoy expansive views of the forest and be soothed by the beautiful scenery in the morning and evening. We purchased local ingredients to cook meals we brought along or made roasted sweet potatoes over a fire pit, savoring nature's blessings during our time there. The private sauna allowed us to enjoy the scent of wood and self-poured löyly at our own pace. During outdoor air baths, we were enveloped in fresh air and tranquility for an incredibly refreshing experience! Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making it a wonderful stay where we could completely clear our minds and bodies. We look forward to visiting again to enjoy its charm through all four seasons.
