STORY

A farmhouse built in 1968,
passed down for more than half a century

UBAKU Villa 宇莫別荘 was built as a farmhouse in Nakaubakubetsu, a small settlement in Biei. We kept the original posts and beams, let light into the once-dark rooms, and finished them with white walls and pale wood floors so the forest and hills outside take center stage. A house that stood empty for years is once again a place where people gather.
