Nakamura House (by Japanese retreat)

Nakamura is a house inspired by Samurai culture and the practices of sumo and jiu-jitsu. The aesthetic is based on the term 'wabi-sabi' which means 'the beauty of imperfection'. This concept combines the composition of minimalism with the warmth of objects from nature. The space Ig: @japonezaretreat #japonezaretreat Japoneza is a beautiful vacation retreat located on Lake Atlangatepec, Tlaxcala. It's ideal for friends, couples, families, and solo travelers.

On the ground floor is the living room of each room with its bathroom, concrete tub, fireplace and private terrace and on the upper floor the queen size bed with fabrics and wooden lattices. This house seeks to disconnect from noise and promotes tranquility and silence. The house has a tatami on the ground floor to invite guests to enjoy a coexistence on the floor with Ottoman leather cushions, paying tribute to the 'wabi' concept that means the elegance and simplicity of the rustic. *PET FRIENDLY: Pets have an extra cost of $200 pesos per pet Guest access *Casa Japoneza and Casa Nakamura share a concrete pool, part of which is not heated, and has an Onsen area (hot tub) which is heated.

Other things to note IMPORTANT INFORMATION! There are two houses here, one named Japoneza and the other named Nakamura. This listing is ONLY FOR CASA NAKAMURA. This place is a retreat of healing, contemplation and silence. The name comes from "JAPO" for Japan and the influence it has on this project due to its way of treating wood, the ceremonial, contemplation and "NEZA" in homage to the architect Nezahualcóyotl, the first Pre-Hispanic architect in Mexico. JAPONEZA retreat is a Mexican project with Japanese influence. "CASA NAKAMURA" is inspired by the Japanese "Heyas" or "Stables" where fighters and warriors grew up and lived based on beliefs where the most important thing is the central inner part to meditate on the different gods, train, thank and honor the elements of nature such as the Sun, rain, thunder, air etc... The rooms are only for sleeping and appreciating the view and do not have the comforts of a Western hotel. In this case, the bathroom of each room is on the floor below, so if you are on the top floor you have to leave the room and re-enter on the ground floor. The fireplace and the tub are the most important amenities since with the hot water bath and the fireplace on we experience two of the most transcendental primary sensations such as water and fire. The important thing is the time for meditation and the immediacy with nature, the view and contemplation in a space that enjoys a very special geographical location. The houses DO NOT share amenities between them other than the central pool. Both houses have received important nominations such as one for the best architecture in the world for 2021 by @archdaily and "Best Romantic Retreat 2022" by @mexbest The fauna and flora of the place is semi-desert and you will find coyotes, rattlesnakes, rabbits, horses, roadrunners, hawks and migratory birds such as ducks, herons among others. It will be an honor to have you at home!
