あたりを360°見渡せるロケーションを生かし、「NEW WILD STAY, NEW WILD LIFE」をコンセプトに、巨石が点々とする自然の荒々しさの感じられる自然の中で、遊び、楽しながら、自分の中に新たな野生を呼び起こす、ここにしかない自然体験を提供するランドスケープ。雨や風、そして水上の特徴である雪など、普段は敬遠しがちな天候であっても、自然が移ろう美しい景色が広がり、ふと屋外へと歩み出たくなる場所へ。

Taking advantage of the 360° panoramic view, this landscape embodies the concept of "NEW WILD STAY, NEW WILD LIFE."
Set amidst rugged nature dotted with massive stones, the space invites guests to play, explore, and awaken a new sense of wildness within themselves through a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience. Even under conditions often considered unfavorable—such as rain, wind, or snow unique to this waterside setting—the ever-changing beauty of nature unfolds, gently encouraging visitors to step outside and reconnect with the wild.

元々からそこにあったかのように現場の地中から掘り出された巨大な石を各所に配置。原地形を再現するかのように敷地全体にアンジュレーションを付けて、豊かなシークエンスを演出した。 Massive stones, unearthed from the very ground of the site as if they had always belonged there, are placed throughout the landscape.
Undulations are added across the terrain to echo the original topography, creating a rich and immersive sequence of spatial experiences. 針葉樹を主体とした植栽の所々にベリーやハーブなどのエディブルプランツをひっそりと忍ばせることで、訪れた方々が自らそれらを発見し、採取し、味わう体験を演出した。 Among the primarily coniferous plantings, edible plants such as berries and herbs are quietly tucked away throughout the landscape,
inviting visitors to discover, gather, and savor them as part of a subtle yet engaging sensory experience. 2,000ｍ級の山々を借景としたFirepitに座り、焚き火を眺めながら、澄んだ空気や鳥の囀り、風に吹かれる木々の音に耳を澄ますと、ここでしか味わえない自然豊かでゆったりとした贅沢な時間が流れる。 Seated by the firepit with a borrowed view of towering 2,000-meter-class mountains,
guests can gaze into the flames while soaking in the crisp air, birdsong, and the rustling of trees in the wind—
a moment of quiet luxury and deep connection with nature that can only be experienced here.
