Hello,
We are Tazawako Onsen Coliving
We are reimagining a long-vacant hot spring inn as a base for digital nomads and remote workers — a place where focused work, outdoor adventure, and genuine community come together.
Guided by the principles of Regenerative Architecture, we are renovating this historic building with a shared kitchen, coworking lounge, and high-speed connectivity — while staying deeply connected to the onsen, mountains, lake, and local community that make Tazawako extraordinary.
Lake Tazawa · Akita.
Japan’s deepest lake, framed by highland peaks — with a natural hot spring inside the building, free and open all day, every day.
A mountain cabin with character.
A long-term stay base where remote work meets community living — from 2 weeks to 6 months. Rebuilt using local timber, low-impact materials, and traditional Japanese Sakan plastering, guided by the principles of Regenerative Architecture.
