About SANU

A Japanese lifestyle brand offering a unique approach to second home ownership through a subscription-based service. This model provides members with access to a network of cabins and properties located in various natural settings across Japan, such as mountains, beaches, and lakes.

The company targets individuals and families seeking a deeper connection with nature without the complexities and high costs associated with traditional vacation home ownership. For a monthly fee, subscribers can book stays at any of the available locations, promoting a lifestyle that balances urban and rural living. The properties are designed with sustainability in mind, using natural materials and eco-friendly construction methods.

In addition to the individual subscription model, SANU also offers a co-ownership plan for its "SANU 2nd Home" properties, allowing multiple owners to share a single property. The company is a Certified B Corporation, underscoring its commitment to social and environmental standards.
