Located in Shizuoka Prefecture's Higashiizu Town, the area is renowned for its stunning coastal scenery and relaxing hot springs. An interesting fact is that Higashiizu is part of the Izu Peninsula, a volcanic region formed by the Philippine Sea Plate subducting under the Eurasian Plate, which is the source of its abundant onsen. The property is approximately a 20-minute drive from the Izu Kyuko Katase-Shirata Station, providing access to the scenic Izu coastline. The closest major tourist attraction is the spectacular Jogasaki Coast, famous for its suspension bridge and dramatic volcanic sea cliffs, offering breathtaking ocean views and hiking trails.
