Nutshell


A small triangular-roofed cabin nestled in the forest, “Nutshell.”

Inspired by the shape of a “nut shell,” this cozy cabin offers only the essentials for sleeping and dining — a simple yet thoughtfully designed retreat.

Designed and crafted by the the head carpenter of ist - Aokinodaira Field, it features an original structure full of character and charm.

Inside, you’ll find only the essentials — a bed, a table, and a tiny kitchen.
Because of its simplicity, you can bring your own camping gear and create a space and time that’s entirely your own.

Bring your favorite coffee set and brew a cup to start the day.
Set up a fire pit or grill and build your own compact camping base.
Or make use of the surrounding trees to hang a hammock or stretch out a tarp —
the space is yours to enjoy freely.

You can make full use of both the cabin and its surroundings, discovering many ways to enjoy your time here.


While you can fully enjoy the charm of the outdoors, there’s no need to worry about setting up a tent or preparing bedding — just relax and feel at ease.

No matter the weather or season, Nutshell lets you experience the beauty of the forest in comfort.

Enjoy the best of both worlds — the essence of camping and the comfort of a cozy cabin.
