Tokyu Resort Town Tateshina 8N Building: A Resort Villa in Nagano
This property is a charming 1LDK apartment within the expansive Tokyu Resort Town Tateshina complex in Chino City, Nagano Prefecture. Built in November 1986, this first-floor corner unit offers a hotel-like ease of use with a spacious, approximately 12-jo (roughly 12 tatami mats) living, dining, and kitchen area that allows for flexible furniture arrangement. The villa features a European-inspired design with beige walls, accented window frames, and a roof with high windows, creating an aesthetically pleasing resort atmosphere.
The unit includes a Japanese-style room with ample storage. The property underwent a major renovation in July 2006, and the next major renovation, originally scheduled for 2019, has been postponed. The estimated temporary contribution for that renovation for this specific unit was approximately 1.19 million yen, based on a long-term repair plan. It is important to note that the Tokyu Resort Town Tateshina is designated as a sediment disaster warning area and a sediment disaster special warning area.
Essential agent notes regarding equipment and fees have been translated. The equipment is powered by Chubu Electric Power Co. (中部電力（株）). Critical one-time fees include a deposit/balance settlement upon contract of 477,000 yen (non-taxable), a separate name change fee of 55,000 yen (tax included), and other stamp duty of 400 yen (for land and single-family homes with two or more lots, 400 yen is required per lot). A lease term renewal administrative fee of 110,000 yen (tax included, separate) is required, and gas and electricity costs are separate.
The resort town itself is a self-contained community offering extensive amenities. Residents have access to the 'Kayama no Yu' hot spring bathhouse with an open-air bath, an indoor heated pool, the Tateshina Tokyu Golf Course (18-hole, membership), tennis courts, the Tateshina Tokyu Ski Field, and other facilities including a 9-hole putting golf course, a town center, a grocery store (EMMA’s food & GROCERY), member resort hotels, a dog run, seasonal dining, and an information center. Most facility use involves separate fees.
The area surrounding the Tateshina highlands is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, part of the Yatsugatake mountain range. An interesting fact is that the clear, cold waters from these highlands are a primary source for the famous sake brewed in the region. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Yatsugatake itself, a popular destination for hiking, nature appreciation, and seasonal sports, offering breathtaking panoramic views.
