和 Farmhouse
Japanese slow living, rooted in the Indian countryside
A retreat built
for deep rest
Step into SHIAWASE — meaning “happiness” in Japanese — a serene farmhouse surrounded by nature in Bandihalli, Karnataka. Designed to evoke harmony, simplicity, and calm, this retreat blends modern comfort with the quiet elegance of Japanese architecture.
Large glass walls frame panoramic views of the rolling countryside, while natural light, wooden textures, and minimalist décor create a sense of zen and peace. Every corner is thoughtfully designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and breathe.
