ØST GARDEN ―
WHERE NORDIC AESTHETICS MEETS KARUIZAWA’S NATURAL BEAUTY
Step into a world where vibrant energy and serene tranquillity exist in perfect harmony. Nestled at the end of a tree-lined boulevard, where sunlight filters through lush foliage, Øst Garden Karuizawa unfolds across two elegant buildings on an expansive 5,960-square-metre estate. The approach to the residences, adorned with landscaped stones and trees emerging from the rock of Mount Asama, creates an enchanting ambience—welcoming visitors into a magical realm where trees and flowers sway in harmony with the rhythm of nature.
A GARDEN OF GRACE, ENRICHED BY THE SEASONS
Karuizawa’s magnificent natural beauty is thoughtfully reflected in its landscaping. The Park Garden, set beyond a row of Katsura trees, complement the landscape, while a secluded garden, nestled between the west and east buildings, is reserved exclusively for those who visit and offers a peaceful retreat. The lush canopy of trees creates an atmosphere of inspiration and tranquillity.
GENEROUS HOMES IN HARMONY WITH NATURE
The lush greenery and natural light from the windows of the West Building create an inviting sense of openness. The bath offers tranquil views of Mount Asama, while the high-end kitchen facilities and the refined design of the living spaces add warmth and satisfaction to every moment at Øst Garden.
SERENE RESIDENCE OF LIGHT AND SEASONS
The East Wing features seven serene residences, each offering a spacious living area of over 220 square metres, with breathtaking views of Mount Asama. The double-height living and dining area, with soaring ceilings over six metres high, creates a sense of openness and warmth. A private internal garden enhances the connection with nature, allowing residents to fully embrace the tranquillity of Karuizawa from the comfort of their home - all while basking in the mesmerizing glow of a charming fireplace.
