OPUS Villa - a home that allows you to experience the four seasons of Karuizawa: “Taiyo no Mori”

This villa is situated on the eastern side of Karuizawa and offers a magnificent view in all four of the stunning and varied seasons, overlooking Mt. Hanare, and the townscape of Karuizawa town, and conveniently located just a 7-minute drive from Karuizawa Station. And only 2.6km from the nearest ski fields!

Although these accompanying photos were taken during the winter season, the scenery is adorned with fresh greenery during summer and a stunning array of golden-brown during Autumn. The songs of wild birds can be heard throughout the year, allowing you to fully enjoy and be immersed in nature.

All while benefiting from the excellent and easy access to Karuizawa Station (7mins drive), which is only about 1hr from Tokyo via the Shinkansen. Making it an ideal environment for a genuine dual-lifestyle between the city and this tranquil retreat.

The developer of OPUS Villa meticulously pursued the creation of a residence that is suitable for its location. Inheriting the essence of Karuizawa, while incorporating new ideas and technologies, this villa offers a stage where you can fully enjoy the charm of both tradition and innovation.

The concept of this masterpiece is the fusion of nature and contemporary architecture.

The textured entrance with natural stone flooring welcomes you through the doors which open onto a corridor with a breathtaking panoramic view, with floor-to-ceiling windows leading to an unspoiled wilderness beyond.
