OKANIWA｜A Secluded Retreat in the Hills of Nagiso, Wrapped in Stillness Nestled quietly in the untouched nature of Nagiso, Nagano Prefecture, OKANIWA is a private villa designed for one group at a time. This modest 50㎡ cabin-style retreat blends into the forest with natural wooden textures and materials that deepen in character over time. There is no television here, no noise—only the sounds of birdsong, rustling wind, and the gentle passage of seasons. OKANIWA was created as a place to step away from the rhythm of the city and savor the richness of doing nothing. Though compact in size, the house features a spacious deck and outdoor area, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. The rolling hills and forests of Nagiso unfold before you, feeling like an extension of your own private garden. At OKANIWA, a retreat shaped by silence, spend deeply meaningful time immersed in nature. We offer a free shuttle service from nearby train stations. If you would like to use this service, please let us know at the time of your reservation. We only accept date changes. Please contact us if you'd like to adjust your reservation. ■ Important Notes■ ・Our accommodation is in a natural setting.
