A garden, foot bath and sauna facing the Northern Alps — a Japanese-modern retreat where ease and quiet meet.
True luxury is simply being close to nature.
At the foot of the Northern Alps lies Hakuba — where mountain air, open skies, and ever-changing scenery come together.It was this landscape, never quite the same twice, that drew us to build a small chalet here.In winter, soak your feet while gazing out at a world blanketed in snow. In summer, take a sauna in the garden under a sky full of stars.A place to experience Hakuba's seasons not as a visitor, but as if you truly lived here.
Unwind as if you lived here, in quiet Japanese-modern calm.
Two bedrooms — one with a queen bed, one with twin beds. Snug and sound-insulated, they keep the buzz of the living room below at bay for deep, restful sleep. Up to four guests can stay in this calm, Japanese-modern space.
Time to find your balance, with the mountains in view.
A private sauna and cold bath for up to four. Sink into the deck foot bath and the ridgeline of the Northern Alps fills the view — snow in winter, a sky full of stars in summer. A reset that belongs only here.
