Lions Villa Yamanakako: A Resort Condominium with Mt. Fuji Views
This property is a 1DK unit within the Lions Villa Yamanakako resort condominium complex, offering a compact yet functional living space of 43.46 square meters with an additional 6.15 square meter balcony. Built in October 1991, this 35-year-old property is situated on the 2nd floor of a 6-story building. The unit faces northwest, and from the balcony, residents can enjoy views of the iconic Mount Fuji. The layout includes a Japanese-style room that serves as a dining area, a kitchen equipped with a 3-burner stove, a bathroom, a washroom, and a toilet. The property is currently under a fixed-term building lease agreement until October 31, 2026, with a monthly rent of 57,000 yen, and viewings are not possible due to the ongoing tenancy.
The property's equipment and facilities include an electric water heater for hot water supply, an electric cooking stove, individual electric heating units, and individually installed cooling/air conditioning systems. Important special notes have been provided by the agent. The property is located within a sediment disaster warning zone (debris flow). CATV is available via individual contract, with a monthly usage fee of 2,310 yen (tax included); an initial connection fee of 77,000 yen may be required. Furthermore, the area is subject to specific hazard maps: the Mount Fuji Volcano Evacuation Map indicates it is a zone requiring particular caution for debris flow after ash fall. For seismic activity, the predicted intensity for a Nankai Trough earthquake is 5+ on the Japanese scale, and for the Shiozawa Fault Zone, it is 6+.
The Lions Villa Yamanakako complex itself offers extensive resort-style amenities for residents. These include a large communal bath with a sauna, an indoor heated pool, a fitness room, coin-operated laundry facilities, vending machines, and an outdoor parking lot with 82 spaces. There is also an owner-exclusive guest room available for a daily fee and a barbecue garden. The building underwent major renovation work in December 2015. Monthly fees total 21,200 yen, comprising 18,300 yen for management and 2,900 yen for repair reserve fund.
The property is located in the scenic village of Yamanakako in Yamanashi Prefecture, part of the renowned Fuji Five Lakes region at the base of Mount Fuji. This area is a popular destination for outdoor activities like hiking, boating, and fishing, especially around the serene Lake Yamanaka, Japan's highest and third-largest of the Fuji Five Lakes. An interesting historical fact is that Lake Yamanaka was formed by lava flows from Mount Fuji damming a river. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Fuji itself, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Japan's most iconic natural symbol, providing a breathtaking backdrop to daily life here.
