Gran Nature Asama Kogen: A South-Facing 2K Apartment with Mountain Views and Onsen Amenities
This south-facing 2K apartment offers direct views of Mount Asama and is part of the well-established Gran Nature Asama Kogen resort condominium complex. The unit features a total floor area of 37.4 square meters and a 4.59 square meter balcony, perfect for enjoying the scenic surroundings. It is situated on the 4th floor of a 6-story building constructed in 1993, making it 33 years old.
The property comes equipped with a gas water heater for hot water supply, an electric cooking stove, baseboard heaters for warming, and no cooling/air conditioning system. Monthly fees include a management fee of 21,280 yen and a repair reserve fund of 3,360 yen, totaling 24,640 yen. Additional monthly costs include a basic water charge of 1,570 yen and an onsen common-area fee of 1,200 yen. Property taxes are approximately 50,000 yen annually.
A key feature of this complex is its extensive shared amenities. Residents have access to a natural hot spring grand bath with an open-air bath and sauna, open 24 hours a year (with cleaning times from 11:00 to 14:00 daily, except Thursdays when it is from 9:00 to 17:00). As noted in the agent's remarks, tours of the onsen grand bath are available from 11:00 to 14:00 (on Thursdays only, from 9:00 to 17:00). The building also boasts a year-round indoor heated pool (though heating is stopped during certain periods from September to June, lowering water temperature), a training room, a karaoke room, a ski locker with drying room, a lounge with massage chairs, coin-operated laundry, and free outdoor parking for 128 vehicles. Pets are permitted subject to complex rules.
The area is part of Tsumagoi Village in Gunma Prefecture, a region famous for its highland vegetables and stunning volcanic landscapes. An interesting local fact is that Tsumagoi is one of Japan's leading producers of cabbage, thanks to its cool, high-altitude climate. The property is approximately a 10-minute drive from the famous Onioshidashi Park, a dramatic landscape of volcanic rock formations created by the eruption of Mount Asama.
