Usami Villa with Ocean Views and Vacation Rental History
This detached house located in Usami, Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture, offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a coastal property. The structure was originally built by an architect, the previous owner, for their own residence, resulting in a design that emphasizes both aesthetics and functionality.
The property sits on a land area of 200 square meters with a building size of 150 square meters. It is a wooden structure constructed in October 1999, making it 27 years old. The seller notes that with appropriate maintenance, the building remains fully usable for years to come.
The location provides convenient access to transportation. Usami Station on the JR Ito Line is a 15-minute walk (1.2 km) from the property. From Tokyo Station, the journey takes approximately 90 to 120 minutes by either train or car. The house is situated in the area between the busier resorts of Atami and Ito, offering a quieter beach experience.
A key feature is the sea view available from the balcony. The property is located at an elevation of over 14 meters above sea level, yet the coast is only a 2-3 minute walk away. During summer, the Ito fireworks display can be viewed from the house.
The property was purchased for use as a vacation home. When not in personal use, it was operated as a short-term rental through a management company, generating income that exceeded the villa's maintenance costs. The management company is currently in the process of being changed, so the rental operation is on hold. The property is equipped to resume vacation rental operations immediately, having previously accommodated up to 15 guests.
Recent renovations and repairs have been completed. These include a system kitchen replacement (2023, approximately 1 million yen), balcony and leak repair work (2024, over 1.2 million yen), exterior wall painting (2025, under 2 million yen), and the installation of three new air conditioners (2025, approximately 250,000 yen). A connection to the public sewer system and sanitary equipment work was completed in October 2025 for 880,000 yen.
There is no monthly management fee as the property is not in a managed vacation home area. A monthly parking space is rented nearby for 5,000 yen. Annual community association fees are a few thousand yen. One point to note is that the property is located in a cliff ordinance yellow zone.
The seller is offering the property at 22 million yen and is not considering price reductions. Viewings are limited to those with confirmed purchasing intent and financial capability.
