While the home itself is not physically associated with the mountain the visual presence makes it the most important part of this cool Japanese house- Just the way its owners wanted it to be!
Each of the rooms flows into another giving one a sense of freedom while the use of lovely shades of wood and ambient lighting makes them warm and inviting. The décor and furnishings are sleek and modern while a refreshing pool offers you a chance to cool down in the evening.
