This detached vacation villa, located in the sought-after Shimizudai 7th Phase area of Nasu Highlands, offers a serene mountain retreat at an elevation of approximately 634 meters. The property is a two-story wooden structure featuring a 2LDK layout plus a storage room, providing two Western-style rooms and comfortable living spaces.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes electricity supplied by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). Critical additional information from the special notes has been translated: There is a water supply transfer approval fee of 220,000 yen (tax included) payable as a lump sum. There is also a water certificate re-issuance fee of 11,000 yen (tax included) payable as a lump sum. Furthermore, the cost for hot spring connection construction is to be estimated separately.

Annual running costs for vacation use include a common area fee of 22,000 yen and a water usage fee of 52,800 yen.
The Nasu area in Tochigi Prefecture is a renowned resort destination, famous for its cool summers, rich nature, and dairy products. An interesting fact is that the Nasu region is part of a volcanic plateau and is home to the Nasu Imperial Villa, a seasonal residence for the Japanese Imperial Family. The area is a gateway to numerous outdoor and cultural attractions, with the majestic peak of Mount Nasu-dake, an active volcano and popular hiking destination, serving as the closest major landmark and defining feature of the landscape.
