A Second Home in the Forest
Discover an extraordinary kind of everyday life, nestled in quiet woods.

Just beyond the Nasu Kaidō, near the heart of Nasu Highlands at Hiroyaji Crossing,
you’ll find a small cottage embraced by trees—
a place where you can truly experience what it means to live with the forest.

Unwind in the forest, where doing nothing becomes a quiet pleasure.

In the garden, a natural grove unfolds—home to konara oaks, magnolias, Japanese maples, and other native trees.
Set out a chair, sip your coffee, and let quiet music drift through the air.

As the seasons shift, the trees transform—like a living painting framed by the large window.

In winter, let the warmth of the wood-burning stove wrap around you as time slows to a gentle pace.
You don’t need to do anything—simply being there is enough to ease your mind.

Stay as if you live here, with a fully equipped kitchen

Start your morning slowly with specialty coffee, sourced from a local roaster in Nasu.
Grind the beans by hand and brew with care—each cup blends gently into the quiet air of the forest.

The raised tatami room and engawa facing the earthen-floor dining area offer a calm, nostalgic atmosphere.
Spend your time slowly, in this quiet space set gently apart from the everyday.

A quiet moment to reflect, in a small study surrounded by forest

The shoin desk by the corner window offers a special place to quietly immerse yourself in a book.
Surrounded by the dappled sunlight and the sounds of nature, turning the pages brings a sense of calm to your mind.

A few books about the forest are also available—feel free to pick one up and enjoy a leisurely moment.
This small study in the woods is also perfect for a workcation or small tasks.

Wake up to the sound of birdsong

You wake to the sound of birdsong in the morning, with soft light and dappled sunlight streaming through the large window.
A sense of calm washes over you, as if taking a deep breath, gently slipping away from the everyday.

A leisurely walk through the quiet forest retreat is highly recommended.
The dappled sunlight at your feet, the chirping of small birds, and the ever-changing scents of the forest each season gently unwind your senses.

A journey to fully enjoy the charm of Nasu Highlands

Fresh greenery in spring, cool breezes in summer, vibrant autumn leaves, and snowy landscapes in winter—
Each season brings its own charm to Nasu Highlands.

Relax in a café surrounded by the forest, or explore nearby spots such as Nasu Animal Kingdom, farms, and amusement parks that are fun for both adults and children.
Numerous hot springs are scattered around, each offering its own unique appeal.

About a two-hour drive from the city center, or easily accessible by Shinkansen and rental car to avoid traffic and enjoy a comfortable journey.

While traveling, it’s tempting to fill your schedule with plans,
but sometimes, why not take a break and let yourself be enveloped by the rhythm of the forest?

Wake up to the morning light, choose fresh ingredients at the local market,
and enjoy quiet moments around the wood stove with music.
These simple yet unforgettable moments await you at Nold Forest House.

A peaceful place to return to, that you'll want to visit again and again

This retreat gradually evolves along with the forest.
When you visit again, reconnect with the “forest” that will show you a different face each time.

When you wish to be healed by nature,
When you want to have a slow conversation with someone,
When you need to find your balance,

May it always remain your place to return to.

Experience the changing expressions of the forest through each season,
and embrace its beauty throughout the year.
