Shirakabadai I Moss Garden House
Karuizawa Town Minamigaoka area Shirakabadai villa area
[Sales start] Completion and delivery date: End of July 2025
<< Location >>
Construction has begun on a new villa in the historic Shirakabadai villa area, surrounded by abundant nature. Karuizawa Station is only an 8-minute drive away, and the nearest supermarket is just 5 minutes away, making this a very convenient and popular area for both villas and permanent residence. You can also enjoy a stroll along the dappled sunlight shining through the trees to Gourmet Street and Lake Shiozawa. The prestigious Karuizawa Golf Club, Gourmet Street lined with famous French restaurants, Lake Shiozawa, and Kazekoshi Park are all within easy reach by bicycle. This is an attractive area with a luxurious environment where you can spend a relaxing time in the silence of the forest.
<Concept>
This home incorporates the moss-covered stone wall beneath the large maple tree. The dining room, located in the atrium, is seamlessly connected to the living room with its wide window overlooking the stone wall, the earthen-floored salon that opens onto the stone wall and garden, and the kitchen, where the stone wall appears cut out like a sculpture beyond the dining room. The outside is enclosed by the exterior walls and stone wall, and the garden is planned to be open yet calm and serene. In summer, you can spend time in the garden surrounded by the lush shade of the maple leaves and the moss-covered stone wall, and in winter, you can calmly and quietly gaze upon the stone wall standing in the light of snow. By incorporating the ever-changing expressions of the stone wall into the home, it has become a home where the place and comfort changes with the seasons.

<An example of moss seen in the "Moss Garden House">
[Hydrophyllum gracilis]
A moss with a very wide distribution worldwide.
The leaves are concave and sickle-shaped, with the leaves on the lateral branches smaller and thinner.
[Marchwort]
The flat fronds spread out and overlap on the ground, and when you get close you can smell a pleasant fragrance that reminds you of forest bathing.

For a villa in Karuizawa, it is important to have "sun exposure" and "humidity control"
Karuizawa has a 90% chance of sunny days in winter!
Sunlight is important for life at an altitude of 1,000m
Good exposure to sunlight helps to combat the summer humidity and winter cold that are unique to Karuizawa. This allows moisture to escape and keeps the house dry and mold-free, and it also provides warmth during the day in winter without relying on heating. With a location, layout, and insulation that efficiently captures sunlight, we offer homes that allow you to enjoy a warm winter life in Karuizawa, even without heating during the day.
The average annual humidity in Karuizawa is 80%!
Dense forests also make it difficult for air to circulate.
The average annual humidity in Karuizawa is over 80%. The humidity is especially high from June to October, creating an environment that is conducive to the growth of mold. During this season, you may notice a moldy smell drifting from somewhere around the villas. In summer, the area is poorly ventilated, making it easier for mold to grow. This is why it is essential to take measures against humidity and mold in homes. Also, sunlight does not reach the dense forest, so heating is necessary not only in winter but also in spring, autumn, day and night.
The "Airpass Solar Method" is suitable for the humid Karuizawa region.
"Sunny warmth" without worrying about humidity or condensation
Airpass's winter mode lets the warmth of the sun into the house and collects solar heat on the roof and walls, creating airflow within the walls. It completely envelops the house in a layer of warm air, and is effective in preventing condensation and mold inside the walls caused by humidity. With an Airpass house, you can use it as a vacation home for long periods without worry! It protects your asset value for the long term.
