End to end quality control. No middle men.
Forest to house
Kamakura Zaimoku owns and carefully controls the process from timber harvest through drying to final house build. We cut out the middle men who introduce inflated prices and inferior quality. We pride ourselves on the quality of our raw materials and the final result our craftsmen produce.

With both class leading architects and builders in house, Kamakura Zaimoku can produce almost anything you can dream of.
We listen carefully to customer requests and often build homes in Hakuba with features such as high countertops, fitments for foreign ovens, 220v power supplies and modern conviences such as vented dryers.

Hand cut joinery
Each join in our buildings is hand cut. Experienced tradesmen evaluate each piece of lumber for its grain and bow then hand cut the joints for maximum strength and longevity. We build modern houses with experienced hands. Our skilled workers deliver quality results you won't find anywhere else.
