Four Villas, Four Expressions

Four villas, each named and shaped by a different sensibility.
TOKI, HIKARI, KAZE, and MORI —
distinct in form, rhythm, and relationship to the forest.
Some open gently to light and greenery,
others draw inward, offering a deeper sense of calm.
Different in expression,
unified by privacy, comfort,
and a quiet connection to nature.

A Garden Shaped by Nature

Each villa opens onto its own private moss garden,
where soft green textures, filtered light, and forest air
create a space that shifts gently with the seasons.

Here, time slows.
Unhurried mornings, open-air baths, quiet afternoons,
and evenings warmed by fire and conversation —
all embraced by the stillness of the forest.

HONO — Fire, Forest, and Time

Set among the trees,
HONO is a place shaped by fire and quiet moments.

Open flames, seasonal ingredients,
and the slow rhythm of charcoal cooking
come together in a space where light, smoke,
and forest views shift with the time of day.

As evening falls, the fire takes center stage.
Flavors deepen, conversations linger,
and the forest settles into stillness.
