fine dining restaurants, there are activities such as canoeing and horseback riding available. image © nacasa & partners inc AZUMA ARCHITECT AND ASSOCIATES DEVELOPED HOSHINOYA FUJI‘S

DESIGN CONCEPT WITH A MINIMALIST APPROACH. the series of washed timber volumes -like architectural viewfinders- each have their own balcony opening up to the landscape. within each of the

cabins, the floor-to-ceiling window generate impressive external views of mount fuji in the distance. white walls maximize the amount of daylight and each private balcony serves the function

of a camping chair to create a place where one can relax in peace. during the day, the balcony can be used as a sun room where guests can have breakfast, read, or relax and at night light

the small fire pit – creating an outdoor camping experience within the luxury of their own suite. the cabins are based among the dense forest landscape image © nacasa & partners inc

guests can further be immersed in nature on the cloud terrace area designed by landscape architects studio on site. a succession of overlapping timber terraces wrap around the forest

landscape, raised at different heights and give guests the opportunity to sit and enjoy the outdoors. pathway to each cabin image © yoshida photo studio floor-to-ceiling windows generate a
