Charming Mountain Retreat Near Izu Peninsula

This 118.91㎡ mountain retreat in Shizuoka Prefecture offers a unique blend of tranquility and accessibility. Built in 1982, the 3-story wooden house features a 2LDK layout with panoramic views of Ōshima Island from its upper floors. The property sits on 257㎡ of land in the quiet neighborhood of Tomito, Izu City.

The surrounding area is known for its volcanic hot springs and dramatic coastal scenery. An interesting geological fact: the nearby Izu Peninsula is actually part of the Philippine Sea Plate, slowly colliding with Honshu at 4cm per year. The closest major attraction is the Izu Shaboten Zoo, just 15 minutes away by car, featuring over 1,500 cacti species and capybara hot spring baths.

Recent renovations include a kitchen update in 2021, while maintaining the property's original character. With three parking spaces and a location 38 minutes on foot from Izu-Kōgen Station, this home balances rural serenity with convenient access to the Izu Kyūkō railway line.
