Ane 

‘Big Sister’ or Ane was the second cabin built by the Japanese family after they fell in love with the forest and decided to spend more time here.

Like Otōto, Ane is warm and cosy in winter and cool in summer. Perfect for 4 people or family groups with older children, this is a Japanese log cabin experience like no other.

It has a stylish, moody atmosphere with a minimalist dark interior designed around local original artworks, traditional Japanese features and antiques, iconic vintage designer chairs and bespoke handmade furniture.

Relax by the fire during winter or around the deck and fire pit area over summer. Hokkaido is known for having some of the best fresh produce and seafood in the world. So gather your own fresh ingredients and make the most of the fully equipped kitchen, our pantry stocked with beautiful local Japanese basics and our collection of Japanese cookbooks to prepare delicious home-cooked meals. Enjoy your company and your dinner around the low Japanese dining table overlooking the forest.

When you’re ready to enjoy the ultimate luxury, slip into the soothing natural spring water onsen, handmade using local beach stones. A full length window opens to beautiful Japanese pine trees to make you feel at one with the forest.

To ensure a good night’s rest, there is an enormous master bedroom with bespoke king size bed and windows on 3 sides looking into the trees. The second bedroom has a queen size bed on a raised platform with a window and small balcony overlooking the forest and mountains.

Drift off to sleep with the moon and stars and wake to views of Mt Yotei through the forest.
