Spacious Japanese-Style Villa with Onsen in the Serene Wakakusa-yama Development
This property is a substantial 5SLDK Japanese-style villa located within the prestigious Wakakusa-yama development in Yugawara, Kanagawa. Originally subdivided by the renowned department store Takashimaya, this community of 140 lots is a unique villa area where each home is supplied with its own onsen (hot spring) water. The water is an "alkaline simple hot spring," known for being gentle on the skin and less likely to cause skin irritation. The residence offers breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Izu and Hakone mountain ranges, providing a serene escape from urban life.
Running costs for the development include a monthly management fee of 1,400 yen, a basic onsen usage fee of 10,500 yen, an onsen maintenance reserve of 5,000 yen, and a meter charge of 500 yen. The property is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood. Equipment includes a bathroom with a window, a bathroom over 1 tsubo in size, a system kitchen, an independent kitchen, an IH cooking heater, propane gas, electricity, tap water, and sewerage.
The area of Yugawara is famous for its therapeutic hot springs and has long been a retreat for literary figures. A major landmark nearby is the stunning Hakone Open-Air Museum, a sculpture park set against the natural beauty of the Hakone mountains, easily accessible for a day of culture and art.
