The Story Behind MUKUten.舎
“MUKU” represents the natural beauty of solid wood in its purest and most authentic form.
“ten” expresses both a space that opens gracefully toward the sky and the quiet comfort of being surrounded by wood.
“Sha” (舎) is a Japanese character meaning a place where people gather, live together, and welcome happiness into their lives.
The villa’s iconic gabled roof was inspired by the silhouette of this character, creating an architectural form that embodies warmth, harmony, and a wish for good fortune to dwell within.
The villa’s sweeping roofline responds to the elegant contours of Mt. Fuji, while the interiors, crafted from rare and carefully selected Japanese timbers, celebrate the warmth, texture, and timeless beauty of Japan’s wood culture.
Throughout the space, the spirit of craftsmanship and a deep respect for natural materials can be felt in every detail.
May Good Fortune Dwell Within
Inspired by the Japanese belief that a well-crafted home can invite good fortune and happiness, the villa was carefully shaped through the vision of its architects and the craftsmanship of skilled artisans.
Surrounded by the warmth of natural wood and the quiet presence of Mt. Fuji, guests are invited to slow down and reconnect with what matters most.
Throughout the villa, master craftsmanship reveals the beauty of natural materials, while a thoughtful architectural vision transforms the spirit and landscape of this place into a living space.
A deep respect for nature, a love of wood, and a sincere wish for the happiness of those who visit.
MUKUten.舎 is the embodiment of these values—a distinctive retreat where architecture, culture, and nature exist in harmony.
Timeless Trees of Japan
From the moment you enter the villa, the gentle fragrance of natural wood quietly welcomes you.
Within the villa are extraordinary Japanese timbers shaped by the passage of time, including ancient bogwood cedar, zelkova, and elm that have endured since mythological times over 2,000 years ago, as well as Yakusugi cedar trees more than 1,200 years old.
These woods are not merely materials, but living memories of nature—bearing witness to centuries of history and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
