The Grand Garden

Grand Garden — A 3,300 m² (0.8-acre) private field

A vast lawn field,
painted by the four seasons

A meticulously maintained expanse of lawn, framed by seasonal trees, flowers, and fruit trees across 3,300 m² of private garden. Cherry blossoms and fresh greenery in spring, cool shade in summer, brilliant foliage in autumn, snowscapes in winter—every visit reveals a different expression.

In this open space, children and pets can run to their heart's content—you may even meet the resident squirrels or a pair of pheasants. Mt. Kaikomagatake, the Southern Alps range, Yatsugatake—time spent wrapped in a panorama of majestic mountains. This scale and natural setting, exclusively yours with the whole chalet, is what makes time here unlike anywhere else.

Jacuzzi & Shoulder Fall

Private Bath — Jacuzzi & shoulder fall with forest views

A soothing jacuzzi bath
overlooking the forest

Gazing out at the forest greenery beyond the window, surrender to the soft bubbles of the jet bath—the chalet's bath time is a luxurious way to close the day. A shoulder fall cascades warmly over your shoulders; jets gently ease your lower back. Wrapped in the green of the trees and fine stone tile, body and mind slowly unwind.

Because the chalet is exclusively yours, you can soak at any hour, entirely in private. After an evening of conversation with family and friends, or for a quiet moment alone.
