Court Villa Atagawa: A Comprehensive Resort Condominium
Standing on a small hill, the resort condominium "Court Villa Atagawa" is exceptionally rare for a resort property, featuring a jet-black exterior that creates a sense of grandeur. The long approach to the building entrance adds a feeling of luxury. The facilities are comprehensive, including not only a large hot spring bath but also indoor and outdoor pools with excellent views, a fitness room, and a rooftop barbecue area. This is a resort condominium where you can enjoy yourself without even needing to go out.
The property's equipment and utilities are detailed as follows: Electricity is provided by Tokyo Electric Power, there is no gas supply, drinking water is from the Higashiizu Town municipal water system, and drainage is processed through a septic tank before being released into the sea.
This 13-story, steel-reinforced concrete building was completed in February 1992 (Heisei 4) and contains 87 units. It is located at 1265-79 Akamatsu, Naramoto, Higashiizu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, approximately 1.6km (a 3-minute drive) from the Izu-Atagawa Station on the Izukyu Line. The building features an auto-lock system, parking for 81 vehicles (at 2,000 yen per month), and a bicycle parking area. The shared hot spring bath uses water from the Akamatsu Onsen Atagawa・Kitagawa No. 47 source, a sodium-chloride/sulfate spring with a temperature of 96.3°C. Bathing hours are from 15:00 to 10:00 the next day from Thursday to Sunday, and from 15:00 to 09:00 on Monday to Wednesday, with a separate session from 16:00 Wednesday to 10:00 Thursday. A sauna is available from 17:00-20:00 Sunday to Friday and 17:00-22:00 on Saturday. The indoor pool (qua) is currently only available during busy periods due to air conditioning issues. Other shared facilities include a sports room, an owner-only guest room (available for 3,000 yen per night), a tanning salon, a relaxation room, and an observation deck (where barbecues are permitted). Pets are not allowed.
The surrounding area of Higashiizu is part of the stunning Izu Peninsula, known for its dramatic coastline, abundant hot springs, and subtropical flora. An interesting local fact is that the peninsula is geologically young and was once an isolated island that collided with the Honshu mainland. The closest major tourist attraction is the Atagawa Tropical & Alligator Garden, a unique botanical garden and zoo featuring alligators and a wide variety of tropical plants, located just a short distance from the property.
