Spacious Ocean-View Land Parcel in Futo, Ito City
This elevated 2,406 square meter (approximately 728 tsubo) land parcel in Futo, Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture, presents a rare opportunity to build a coastal retreat with stunning ocean views and gentle sea breezes. Located just a five-minute walk from Futo Station on the Izu Kyuko Line, the property offers exceptional convenience for a car-free lifestyle while being surrounded by tranquil nature. The land was formerly a mandarin orange orchard, and two mature mandarin trees remain, adding a charming and fruitful touch to the scenic plot. The current owner originally purchased the land with plans to build a vacation home but is now offering it for sale due to a family relocation, making it ready for a new owner to realize their vision.
The property features a scenic view, is close to the beach, has a south-facing orientation, and includes a balcony area. While not part of a formal villa subdivision, the area has a few neighboring residences, providing a balance of privacy and a quiet community atmosphere. Its walkability from the station is ideal for hosting guests or for those seeking a slow-living lifestyle immersed in the natural beauty of the Izu Peninsula.
The surrounding Ito area is famous for its abundant hot springs, coastal scenery, and vibrant marine life. An interesting local fact is that Ito is one of the few places in Japan where you can experience "onsen tamago," eggs slow-cooked in natural hot spring waters. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Mount Omuro, an extinct volcano with a unique grassy crater that visitors can walk around, offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Izu region.
