SANUที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

We stayed at this accommodation during the autumn to early winter season. The small wooden cabins scattered in the forest are as charming as they appear in the photos. We chose a cabin with an elevated terrace, surrounded by golden larch and broadleaf trees, creating a stunning contrast with the blue sky on sunny days. From inside the room, you can enjoy a direct view of Mount Fuji covered in snow. The view is unobstructed between other cabins, offering a picturesque scene of sunrise gradients and clouds over the mountain peak. This spot is perfect for those who want to quietly admire Mount Fuji away from the bustling lakeside area. Morning views are especially recommended as clouds rarely cover Mount Fuji then! The firepit area features a hexagonal fire stand set on gravel with log stools around it. You can enjoy tending your own fire—whether it's watching glowing embers or lively flames—as shown in photos. While maintaining an outdoor feel, the gravel ground ensures relatively comfortable footing compared to soil. One standout feature of this cabin is its private sauna—a genuine Finnish-style sauna equipped with a HARVIA stove and wooden benches, complemented by an eye-catching teardrop-shaped round window offering views outside. A bucket and ladle for "löyly" (steam) are provided so you can fully immerse yourself in this experience privately. Next to the sauna is a metal water bath that can be filled for cooling off after your session. The wooden slatted floor allows water to drain outside naturally while serving as an open-air relaxation space close to nature. Inside, there’s what seems like a pellet stove that provides warmth while letting you watch flickering flames through its glass panel—a cozy indoor alternative to outdoor fires at night. The bathroom is clean and designed in Japanese style with separate areas for washing and bathing—ideal after using the sauna or even for families with young children or babies. The sink area is simple yet practical, featuring storage carts for towels and amenities. Overall, this cabin offers an immersive experience combining wood's warmth with elements of "fire," "water," and "forest." It’s highly recommended for those looking to enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Fuji while indulging in campfires and private saunas. Lastly, we recommend playing Sanu's playlist—which you'll receive after completing your reservation—on the room's built-in speakers; it adds just another layer of enjoyment!

This accommodation is highly recommended for a multiple night stay. One night is simply not enough. There are plenty of experiences to enjoy, such as cooking in a fully equipped kitchen, gathering herbs on the property, watching movies with a projector, reading books available in the room, grinding and brewing your own coffee beans, and sitting by the campfire. During this visit, I stayed for one night and felt reluctant to leave. I promised my friends that we would definitely come back again. The open space with high ceilings and large windows was incredibly pleasant. Next time, I plan to stay longer to enjoy drawing, knitting, reading books, relaxing in the sauna, or taking walks. This is the perfect place to escape from the busyness of city life and take time to reconnect with yourself—highly recommended!

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!

I stayed for one night with a friend. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, knitting while watching dramas, and spending time at a relaxed pace surrounded by nature! The cabin was well-equipped with various utensils and seasonings, which was very convenient. Additionally, the distance from neighboring cabins allowed us to enjoy our stay without worrying about others. I would love to visit other SANU locations as well!

It was a very comfortable stay! All the necessary amenities were provided (reading the guide in advance makes preparation easier), and the accommodation was thoughtfully designed for comfort. Although it was cold outside, the pellet stove warmed up the entire room, making it cozy. Enjoying a night under a sky full of stars with a mug in hand was truly priceless! For guests with dogs, essential amenities like deodorizing spray, towels, and dishes were available, which was very helpful.

The Room’s greatest highlight is the ocean view from the bath inside the guest room. In many places, the bathroom and Room are separate, but being able to step straight into the bath within the Room felt truly special and gave a wonderful sense of escape. There is also an outdoor sauna, making this stay feel far more unique than most other Facility options. Honestly, I didn’t expect that much at first, but having “my own private sauna” was even better than I imagined and left me feeling deeply refreshed in both body and mind. One small thing to note: because the sauna is outdoors, you need to pass across the balcony briefly. At that moment, you may occasionally make eye contact with people walking along the seaside, so it’s worth being a little mindful. Another personal favorite was the selection of books in the Room. It seems to vary by Room, which adds a small pleasure—wondering what kind of books will be there this time. There are no meals provided, but the extra-paid curry in the refrigerator was much better than expected and very satisfying. You can also purchase coffee beans and enjoy taking time to grind them and brew coffee—something I don’t usually do. Staying here wasn’t just about spending a night; it was time to engage thoughtfully with everyday acts like sleeping and eating. Because of its simple space, it naturally made me reflect on life itself—and what happiness means. It truly felt like a special place.

Located just steps from the ocean, it feels like an escape from the everyday the moment you arrive. The biggest highlight was being close enough to walk to the beach for a morning stroll. It’s an ideal setting for anyone who loves surfing and nature. The building has a warm, natural wood feel—simple yet refined—and it feels more like a stylish vacation home than a typical Hotel. With plenty of light coming in through large windows, the space feels open and airy even indoors. It looked even better in person than in the photos. The Facility is well equipped, with a kitchen and a workspace, making it great for a workcation. I did some work during my stay and found it easy to focus. On the other hand, there’s very little in terms of Hotel-style service, so some guests may find it slightly inconvenient. Also, because it’s popular, getting a Reservation can be somewhat difficult. Overall, rather than just “travel,” this felt like an experience of living in nature. I’d love to stay again when I want to relax or spend time somewhere different.

At the recommendation of a friend from my university days, I stayed at this Accommodation. The drive there was enjoyable, with lush natural scenery along the way that helped me forget the bustle of everyday life. The interior was spotless and well maintained throughout, making it a very comfortable space. We brought ingredients from a local supermarket and prepared a meal together around the kitchen. As time passed slowly, we enjoyed board games with drinks in hand. At night, we fell asleep while watching something on the projector. It’s an Accommodation I’d love to return to in another season as well.

It was our first visit, and it turned into an even better weekend than we expected. After making the Reservation, we were happy to receive an email with recommendations for stylish spots nearby. It saved us the trouble of researching on our own and gave us peace of mind. They also share what to bring and other helpful details, so checking your email is a must. We had lunch at a galette restaurant on the way from the station to the Accommodation, then did some shopping and, after check-in, spent the whole time at the Accommodation. Check-in seems to be controlled by an automatic lock system, so you can’t enter until check-in time. (We arrived about 15 minutes early, so we waited in the car for a bit before checking in.) Sauna → taking our time cooking dinner → staying up late with wine. The next morning: sauna right after waking up, brunch, and coffee. We relaxed as if we were at home while enjoying a truly luxurious stay. The sauna was spacious and got properly hot, and the cold plunge was icy—incredible. (It snowed that day, so I think it may have been close to single digits in °C...) In the Room there were high-quality seasonings and natural wines available for an additional fee. We had no trouble cooking meals there, but if you want to make more elaborate dishes using lots of spices or herbs, bringing those along would make it perfect. Lastly, winter driving conditions made us a little nervous. There was snow buildup and black ice on the road in front of the Accommodation, so please be careful as it can be slippery. In winter, studless tires are a must—and having chains would give extra peace of mind. It feels like a place you could enjoy in any season—we’d love to come back in spring, summer, and autumn too!

I love the scent of wood when you first enter. The Room felt very clean, the towels were fluffy, and I had a comfortable stay. The weather was great, and the forest view from the large window directly in front of the bed, along with the morning sunlight streaming in, felt wonderful.

I chose this accommodation because I wanted to stay at a place with an onsen in the room but without meals. The experience was very satisfying. I cooked one meal in the room using ingredients bought at a roadside station, and it was great that all the necessary seasonings and utensils were perfectly provided. The pellet stove in the room was also a nice touch. The view from the onsen on the balcony was exceptional. I hardly encountered anyone and enjoyed a quiet stay. I would love to visit again.

As a new facility, everything was very clean and well-maintained. The interior design, including the long dining table and lighting, was sophisticated and stylish. The kitchen was fully equipped with appliances, utensils, and even seasonings, making it convenient for self-catering. Most importantly, turning on the faucet in the bathroom provided Onsen water—a delightful feature. The view was stunning, and soaking in the Onsen while listening to the sound of the ocean was incredibly relaxing. Although adjusting the water temperature could be a bit tricky at first, letting it cool down after filling allowed us to enjoy 100% pure Onsen without diluting it with tap water—highly recommended! One minor improvement would be clearer guidance regarding the Diamond Member wine benefit; however, inquiries were promptly addressed, which was appreciated.

My first time staying at a SANU cottage. I don’t usually write Reviews, but this was so good I had to share! Great access—about a 2.5-hour drive from Tokyo. When we arrived, the uniquely designed Accommodation welcomed us. After completing online check-in, we headed inside. The moment I opened the front door, the scent of wood was incredible!!! The Room was spacious—a luxurious space filled with warmth from the wood. What impressed me most was the private sauna. It felt more spacious than I expected, and it was great being able to enjoy it with friends whenever we wanted without worrying about anyone else! The cold plunge tub is sized for one person, so if you’re using it with multiple people, a quick heads-up to each other helps keep things smooth. At night we had a group cooking session! We drove a short distance to a large supermarket for groceries. The kitchen is well equipped and just the right size, with plenty of cookware and tableware. We had such a fun time cooking together. Since it’s an entire home rental, it was also nice not having to worry too much about neighbors. We stayed up chatting late into the night and took our time in the morning—everything at our own pace. Highly recommended for friend groups or families. I’d love to stay again.

This was my first time staying with SANU! Karuizawa 1st is a quiet place surrounded by nature, and from the moment I arrived, the crisp, clear air immediately put me at ease. The Room is spacious and relaxing, with plenty of natural light through the large windows and beautiful views outside. Time felt like it slowed down, and I was able to forget the busyness of everyday life and truly recharge. I relaxed so much that I didn’t even make time for a campfire, so I’d love to come back again... haha

An amazing location surrounded by breathtaking nature. In the morning, we took a walk with the kids through the great outdoors, spotting animal tracks and even wild squirrels and deer. It was a magnificent experience you can’t get in everyday life. What makes SANU special is being able to enjoy it all with peace of mind. From helpful communication before our Reservation to well-maintained Facilities and equipment, plus advance information about the surrounding area, there’s plenty of support to help you stay comfortably. Our whole family was able to enjoy this extraordinary experience with confidence.

It was a wonderful, peaceful Accommodation where we could fully enjoy nature. Three of us stayed, and the beds were spacious enough for us to relax and be comfortable. The surroundings were calm, making it easy to forget everyday life and truly unwind. We also used the projector, and in the evening we enjoyed watching videos together at a leisurely pace—it made for a special time. We would definitely love to stay again if we have the chance!

I chose an accommodation where we could relax in a private space for a gathering with old friends. The kitchen was equipped with cooking utensils and tableware, allowing us to enjoy making and sharing sukiyaki together. Outside the window, there was a beautiful snowy landscape, and the time spent enjoying warm meals was truly wonderful. At night, the clear air revealed a breathtaking starry sky when we stepped outside. Spending time with old friends in peaceful nature offered a special experience that is hard to find in the city. The room was spacious and very comfortable, making it perfect for a multiple night stay to fully unwind. SANU seems to have multiple locations, so I would love to visit again!
