--- I just want to float in this moment


This is a vacation home area in Kita-Karuizawa, at the foot of Mt. Asama.
A place where cultural figures have long gathered to relax.

In a 1960s house, in Venice
With a wooden interior reminiscent of a classic boat and
A blue-green wall with a water city theme,
Contemporary art is displayed in the room.


If you sit down on the chair as you please,
The gaze is drawn to the sunlight filtering through the trees.
Eventually the sun went down, and a warm fire was lit
Gather around a meal, immerse yourself in music, and sleep.

Easily transcending countries and eras
Not bound by yesterday or tomorrow
However, I want to stay in this moment.

This is your own "My Hytte"
It is in a beautiful grove, and you can identify it by the red roof.

Hello, My name is Toyama. I am usually involved in art, creative work, food and drink, and more. In 2019, I was fortunate enough to take over Shuntaro Tanigawa's house in Kita-Karuizawa (designed by architect Kazuo Shinohara), and since then, I have been living a two-base life, spending nearly 100 days a year in Kita-Karuizawa. (See "Shinshu no rojin" on YouTube) And so, "My hutte" was born, so that you could gently experience the charm of this land and life here. This hutte is a 1960s cottage that stands on a plot of about 1,300 m² facing the beautiful forest on the north side, and I have been gradually renovating it. I spent a year and a half working on it, going there every week. Here, my favorite things, memories, and the works of about 10 artists are quietly placed. Please find your own place to relax and discover new ideas. I would be happy if you could have such a time. I hope to meet you someday, somewhere in Kitakaruizawa.
