Fujita Usami Mansion Building A: A Quiet Resort Condominium in the "Minori no Mura" Villa Area
Located within the tranquil Usami Minori no Mura villa district in Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Fujita Usami Mansion Building A is a quiet resort condominium offering a peaceful retreat. The property is part of a well-established complex that includes shared amenities such as a tennis court, pool, and a 50-yard golf driving range. A notable adjacent facility is the "Qua House" day-trip hot spring, which is available for a fee; however, owners within the villa area, including condominium owners, can use it for a discounted rate of 500 yen. For transportation, a free shuttle bus runs five round trips daily to Usami Station, providing convenient access.
The building's equipment and utilities are clearly specified. The electricity is supplied by Tokyo Electric Power Company, gas is propane gas (supplied by Energin), drinking water is provided by Minori no Mura Service Co., Ltd., and drainage is handled by a centralized purification tank. This detailed infrastructure ensures modern convenience in a resort setting.
Constructed in October 1978 (Showa 53), this 48-year-old, three-story reinforced concrete building comprises a total of 101 units across Buildings A and B. The complex features 25 outdoor parking spaces shared between the buildings. A key feature is the availability of in-unit hot spring (戸別温泉), which requires a contract. This involves an initial rights fee of 110,000 yen every five years, a name change fee of 22,000 yen, and a monthly usage fee of 9,900 yen. The contract includes the gas cost for water heating by the in-unit heater. If the contract is canceled, the installed equipment (heater, piping, etc.) must be purchased from the management.
The surrounding Ito area on the Izu Peninsula is renowned for its coastal beauty and numerous hot spring resorts. An interesting local fact is that Ito City was historically a major center for the production of wasabi, a staple of Japanese cuisine. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Jogasaki Coast, a scenic coastline featuring suspension bridges, hiking trails, and dramatic volcanic rock formations overlooking the Pacific Ocean, easily accessible from the area.
