Garden pool over the bay
An outdoor pool ringed by lawn and tiled terrace. The view ahead is open: the water simply continues into the Pacific and Sagami Bay. In summer you can put up a parasol and spend the whole day here.
Kaiyukan
One party a day, the whole house
A private house aboveSagami Bay, at Kawana.
YOUR BASE ABOVE KAWANA
A house to set out from,
and come back to.
Fine furniture, art on the walls, and the sea in the window: time here is meant to be spent quietly.
On a hill above Kawana, on the Izu peninsula: a white clapboard house ringed by lawn and tiled terrace, standing alone between the forest and Sagami Bay. A pool, a Swedish sauna, a glass conservatory and a grand piano. A base for the days you go out to the sea, and for the days you never leave at all.

SIX REASONS TO COME UP THE HILL
What only this house has
The glass conservatory
A domed conservatory. Beyond the octagon of glass are the pool and the sea; above it, the sky. The brightest room in the house — good for breakfast, and better for reading on a wet afternoon.
A Swedish sauna
A permanent timber-lined Swedish sauna with two tiers of benching, enough for several people at once. Afterwards, step out onto the deck and cool off in the sea air.
A house made for music
A grand piano, a drum kit and guitars. You can play without worrying who hears. Good for a rehearsal weekend, or for one quiet piece at night.
A jacuzzi with a view
A jacuzzi set against a wide window: from the water you can see the horizon past the trees. A separate shower room adjoins it.
The corridor
The long timber-panelled corridor doubles as a gallery. Framed works line both walls.
