Qua Life Onjuku: A Resort Condominium with Onsen and Ocean Views
This property is a spacious 1LDK condominium located on the 8th floor of a 14-story building in the Qua Life Onjuku complex in Chiba Prefecture. With a private area of 61.57 square meters and a 7.17 square meter balcony facing southwest, the unit offers ample living space. The building itself is 40 years old, having been constructed in 1986 by Takenaka Corporation, and features a steel-reinforced concrete structure.
The apartment comes equipped with an electric water heater for hot water supply, an electric stove for cooking, and individually installed heating and cooling systems for personalized climate control. A key feature of the complex is its on-site hot spring facility. The large communal bath uses a sodium-bicarbonate cold spring, which is said to be beneficial for neuralgia, muscle pain, joint stiffness, and fatigue recovery. The complex also offers a free outdoor pool open during the summer season.
Monthly fees include a management fee of 17,330 yen, a repair reserve fund of 10,010 yen, a facility service charge of 4,200 yen, and a basic water charge of 1,500 yen, totaling significant monthly carrying costs. The property is listed for sale at 14.8 million yen. Additional purchase costs include an estimated fixed asset tax of approximately 86,700 yen, a registration and license tax of about 123,800 yen, and a real estate acquisition tax of around 247,600 yen. The agent has provided a note regarding transportation: a timetable for express buses running between Hamamatsucho/Tokyo Station and Katsuura, Onjuku, and Awa-Kominato is available.
The location in Onjuku Town is ideal for a coastal lifestyle. The property is just a 2-minute walk from Onjuku Central Beach and a 1-minute walk from Onjuku Water Park. An interesting local fact is that Onjuku has a historical connection to a Spanish galleon that shipwrecked here in the early 17th century, leading to cultural exchanges. The closest major tourist attraction is the expansive Nokogiriyama (Sawtooth Mountain), known for its giant Buddha statue and panoramic views of Tokyo Bay, located approximately a 30-minute drive away.
