Spacious 1LDK Apartment at the Gateway to Shuzenji Onsen
This well-maintained 1LDK apartment offers a comfortable living space in the highly desirable area of Shuzenji, Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The property features a bright and spacious layout with a 14-tatami mat living/dining/kitchen area and a separate 7.5-tatami mat Japanese-style room, providing a total floor area of 52.64 sqm. The northeast-facing orientation ensures excellent sunlight and pleasant views. The apartment is clean and in good condition, with a key feature being the electric water heater, which was replaced with a brand-new unit in Reiwa 1 (2019).
According to the agent's special notes, the property is currently vacant. The agent encourages interested parties to freely inquire about arranging a viewing at their preferred date and time. The remarks further highlight the prime location at the entrance to the Shuzenji Onsen hot spring town, with restaurants and tourist attractions in the immediate vicinity. A unique resident benefit is access to the large communal hot spring bath at the Hotel Takitei located within the same complex, available for a fee of 500 yen per use.
The building itself is a sturdy 10-story SRC (steel-reinforced concrete) structure with a full-time building manager. Parking is available on-site for a monthly fee of 1,000 yen. The location is highly convenient, just a 5-minute bus ride from Shuzenji Station on the Izu Hakone Railway Sunzu Line, followed by a short 5-minute walk from the Shuzenji Sogo Kaikan bus stop.
The surrounding Shuzenji area is one of the most famous hot spring resorts in the Izu Peninsula, known for its serene atmosphere along the Katsura River. An interesting local fact is that the area's main temple, Shuzenji Temple, is said to have been founded in the 9th century by the celebrated monk Kobo Daishi. The closest major landmark is the historic Shuzenji Onsen itself, a picturesque hot spring town with traditional inns, foot baths, and the iconic Tokko-no-Yu, a small, historic bathhouse nestled in a bamboo forest.
