Escape to Nature: A 652m² Property in Nasu Highlands
Discover your personal mountain retreat in the prestigious highlands of Nasu, Tochigi—Japan’s premier resort destination for city dwellers and nature lovers. Offered for an incredible price of approximately $35,714 (based on 5,000,000 JPY at 1 USD = 140; purchase costs not included), this charming villa represents a rare opportunity for a tranquil lifestyle and a highly strategic investment.
Perched at an elevation of 780 meters, this property guarantees cool, refreshing summers and breathtaking, clear nights perfect for stargazing. The single-story, 75 m² (805 ft²) wooden house is thoughtfully designed for easy living and sits on a generous 652 m² (7,017 ft²) plot of sloped, forested land. The home’s crowning feature is its expansive, elevated wooden deck, which offers stunning views of the surrounding greenery and provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or weekend barbecues with friends and family. The layout consists of a 3LDK floor plan, a functional basement for storage or hobbies, and a garden space ready for your personal touch.
For International Investors:
This property is a golden ticket into Japan’s lucrative vacation rental market. Nasu is a year-round tourist hotspot, attracting millions from Tokyo and beyond for its hot springs, ski resorts, theme parks, and natural beauty. This villa is perfectly positioned to serve as a high-demand Airbnb or short-term rental, generating significant income. The extremely low entry price minimizes capital risk, while the high rental appeal maximizes potential returns. The option to access the local onsen (hot springs) for a fee is a powerful draw for tourists seeking an authentic Japanese experience. Please note: The property has annual management fees (¥78,540) and optional onsen usage fees, which should be factored into your investment plan.
Location & Unbeatable Accessibility:
While offering serene seclusion, the villa is remarkably accessible. It is just a 15-minute drive from the Nasu Kogen Smart Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway. For ultimate convenience, the Nasu-Shiobara Shinkansen (Bullet Train) Station is only a 30-minute drive away, whisking you to Tokyo in just over an hour.
The area is a treasure trove of attractions, all within a short drive:
- Nasu Highland Park & Safari Park (15 min drive): Major theme parks for family entertainment.
- Nasu Onsen & Sessho-seki “Killing Stone” (20 min drive): A famous volcanic hot spring area steeped in mythology.
- Nasu Ropeway (25 min drive): Ascend Mt. Chausu for panoramic views of the Kanto plain.
- Numerous Museums, Cafes, and Gorges: Explore the Nasu Stained Glass Museum, ride the Nasu Gondola, or visit the Nasu Animal Kingdom.
This is more than a house; it’s a gateway to a new lifestyle or a high-performing addition to your investment portfolio. Don’t miss this chance to own a piece of paradise in one of Japan’s most beloved resort towns.
