在日本群马县的森林中有一栋新建的酒店，森林面积有20000㎡，酒店名为NOT A HOTEL KITAKARUIZAWA IRORI，今年夏天正式开业。该建筑有着大面积的落地玻璃窗和多彩的灯带。建筑主要使用的材料是木材和玻璃，从整体上看，就像是绿洲中的玻璃盒子。酒店的名字容易让人们联想起日式壁炉，也是该建筑空间的设计理念来源。该酒店设计有2个卧室（共8个床位）、2个浴室、1个餐厅和1个客厅，功能齐全。建筑中的每个房间都是森林中的一景。

Nestled amid a 20,000 square-meter forest in the Gunma Prefecture of Japan, NOT A HOTEL KITAKARUIZAWA IRORI has officially opened to guests this summer. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and high side lights, the retreat is an oasis of wood and glass; its name recalls the distinctive irori, a traditional Japanese sunken hearth, which is the centerpiece of this hidden property. It also houses two intimate bedrooms (with eight beds) and two bathrooms, alongside a living-dining area, all framing expansive views of the surrounding forest.

NOT A HOTEL KITAKARUIZAWA IRORI酒店设计有专供客人聚会的地方，客人还可预定特色美食作为晚餐，用餐区被设计成一个开放的空间，并延伸至露台，大型餐桌可容纳8人，人们可在此观赏森林中的自然风光。建筑中还设计有专门的宠物交流区，满足客人的各种生活需求。

The central gathering space at NOT A HOTEL KITAKARUIZAWA IRORI welcomes intimate gatherings; guests can reserve private dinners featuring irori cuisine, complete with flickering flames and a backdrop of forest scenery. One of the two buildings is a pet-friendly model, featuring a dog run. Complementing the irori is a living-dining area, designed as an open, airy space within the retreat, extending to the terrace through floor-to-ceiling windows; the large dining table comfortably seats up to eight people.

酒店中的卧室都配备有书桌，为客人提供一个可以安静工作的地方，还能够观赏窗外风景。NOT A HOTEL KITAKARUIZAWA IRORI酒店中的洗浴区单独设置在较为安静的区域，还结合有天然温泉、石浴汗蒸、桑拿、冷水浴、室外休闲等区域，客人可以在此尽情放松心情。洗浴区采用活动门，门完全推开后，浴室将会变成半开放区域。

The bedrooms, meanwhile, are equipped with a spacious desk, creating a perfect setting for quiet contemplation or focused work. As for the bathrooms, the retreat has purpose built them for ultimate relaxation. Guests at NOT A HOTEL KITAKARUIZAWA IRORI can enjoy the stone bath carved from a large rock and brimming with rejuvenating natural hot spring waters. Open the doors, and the bathroom becomes a semi-open-air bath surrounded by forest. The bathing area also features a sauna, cold bath, and outdoor relaxation space.
