Hi! I am a Japanese living in Izu. I remember when I first came to Izu from Tokyo, I was impressed by the beauty of the sea and the grandeur of the mountains. You will have a wonderful experience in a place where you can be healed by beautiful nature only 2.5 hours away from Tokyo. I look forward to supporting you on your wonderful Izu journey.

This rambling two-story country home, nestled in a mountain hamlet in the town of Izu, offers the experience of Japanese countryside living. Enjoy barbecuing and lounging in the yard, taking walks along the forest roads, stargazing at night, or just chatting over a meal in the family room. The house is a 20 minute walk from a train station, 5 minute drive to the beach and close to countless attractions. For a refreshing family-style stay in the lap of nature, this property is ideal. Lodging: Living and dining room with a spacious kitchen. Enjoy cooking and dining while watching your favorite shows or movies on the large flat-screen television equipped with Apple TV. Bedrooms: Four rooms in total, two Japanese-style rooms with tatami, and two western-style rooms. The second-floor tatami room has a twin, while the western-style ones have one semi-double bed and one single bed respectively. The first-floor tatami room has a set of four futons for a comfortable rest in a traditional Japanese space. Workspace: The tatami room on the first floor has a spacious desk for remote work, providing a quiet environment where you can concentrate. ★Owner recommendations: - Wine refrigerator: Enjoy a glass of wine, amid the soundtrack of birdsong, night insects, and a nearby burbling brook. - Fully equipped kitchen: Throw a vacation party or treat yourself to an unhurried meal to enjoy in the spacious combined kitchen/dining room/living room. - Nearby beaches: Wake up early for the four-minute drive down the hill to experience the dramatic sunrise over Ōshima to the east. The beach at nearby Atagawa is a well-kept secret—accessible by train, with free entry and parking, nice sand, and fun waves. Feel free to use our beach chairs and camp table for a day by the sea. – Walking distance to Izu-Ōkawa Station: It’s a steep climb but the house’s spacious bath awaits to wash away your fatigue.

The Okawa area is right in the middle of the Izu Peninsula. It is one hour from Atami and one hour to Shimoda. It is an ideal resting point for travelers, with local beaches and hot spring resorts nearby. Seafood is also abundant and there are many restaurants. We recommend driving, but you can also take a train or cab. Please consult with us.
