“We want to create a space where you can enjoy work, study, and conversation while feeling the pleasant breeze on the spacious veranda connecting you to the forest.”
The number “8” also represents the infinite possibilities and greatness of Yatsugatake. The large and wide roof will make the room interesting when sudden rain comes. You can listen to the sound of the rain falling, put your hand out and catch the rains and enjoy the fresh air.
This vacation villa on the mountain cliff is equipped with a kitchen, toilet, bathroom, and Wi-Fi. The skill of Sobokuya carpenters has created a peaceful place by maximizing the natural slope of the forest.
Taking inspiration from Kiyomizu Temple, Kyoto to create unique architecture, conquering nature.
The main hall of Kiyomizu Temple (清水寺) is famous for the Kiyomizu stage. The Kiyomizu stage is a wooden stage built by arranging giant wooden pillars with a maximum length of about 12m and assembling them without using any nails by a technique called “kake-zukuri” (懸け造り).
This stage was originally a place to dedicate performing arts to the gods. Kiyomizu Temple worships the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara and guardian gods for the peace and prosperity of the country and its people, starting from 778 in the late Nara period.
This temple was expanded during the Heian period to accommodate the increasing number of visitors due to its unique architecture and significant spiritual symbolism.
Today, you can fully enjoy the distinctive architecture that turns the weakness of building on a mountain cliff into a strength to experience a refreshing atmosphere amidst the forest.
Standing on a stage, the traditional wooden architecture combined with the Ishibadate technique of placing pillars on rocks creates a solid and beautiful overall structure.
In Japanese wooden architecture, there is always a delicate balance between simplicity and meaningful design that embodies the essence of the house.
Crafted by skilled carpenters with years of experience, the house exudes an exquisite touch that you can feel as soon as you step inside.
The design of the roof without pillars maximizes the open space and provides more comfort for customers. The entire building and rooftop are covered by a large roof.
The spacious cafe inside the building, along with the expansive rooftop, is an excellent combination to create a one-of-a-kind workspace. The 12m high roof is made of five interlinked cedar trees, using the traditional Kanawa method to connect them without screws or metal fittings.
Sobokuya has shaped customers’ “thinking” by creating a fully equipped resort in the middle of the forest. Guests can work normally with Wi-Fi, relax in comfortable sleeping quarters, kitchens, and bathrooms while camping here.
Imagine a refreshing morning, standing on your porch, looking at the surrounding scenery without any obstruction. A stage that blends seamlessly with the relaxing guest house space, combined with soaking in the onsen or simply enjoying afternoon tea.
