What makes it special?

Time seems to stand still in this traditional Japanese villa in Shizuoka Prefecture owned by Asaba Ryokan. With nothing to distract the eye, the interiors are a quiet study in Japanese minimalism.

Soft, soothing tones set the scene, while the low dining table, restful beds, and a pair of armchairs are all positioned to take in the surrounding landscape. This, after all, is the villa’s true purpose: to frame the forest, waterways, and mountains beyond.

The connection with nature reaches its peak in the outdoor bath. Complete privacy is assured in this single-storey retreat, while guests still enjoy easy access to Asaba’s services and amenities nearby.
