Villa Auf Einem Hügel Mit Blick Auf Den Fuji, Theater Und Weinkeller Auf 1.240 M²

Set on elevated land in Sano Miharashidai, Mishima, this private concrete residence faces Mount Fuji across its garden. It stands on 1,240.72 m² (about 13,350 sq ft) of flat, freehold land, with 799.46 m² (about 8,600 sq ft) of space over a basement and two floors. Fully renovated, it is about an hour from Tokyo by Shinkansen and car.

The main living spaces are on the upper floor: a living room, dining room and kitchen that open onto wide terraces, arranged around two inner courtyards. The same level holds a tea room with a tokonoma alcove, a tatami room with an irori hearth and a Chinese-style room for receiving guests.

Six bedrooms, including the master bedroom, are on the ground floor, together with two full bathrooms, one opening onto its own bath garden. A private elevator serves every level, and an indoor garage holds three cars.

Leisure stays within the walls. A home theater, a wine cellar, a bar, a karaoke room, a mahjong room and a gym mean that evenings and weekends need not leave the property. The house is monitored by ALSOK, one of Japan’s major security providers.

From the garden, Mount Fuji fills the horizon. In winter, when the air is clearest, the snow-covered summit is visible from first light.

Mishima sits at the foot of the mountain. A former post town on the old Tokaido road, it grew around Mishima Taisha shrine and is known as a city of water, fed by springs that rise from Mount Fuji. The gardens and museums of Clematis no Oka are on the town’s edge, Mishima Country Club and its hot spring are close by, and Hakone and the Izu Peninsula are within easy reach.

The property is equally suited to a private residence, a second home or a corporate retreat for senior guests. Mishima Station, on the Tokaido Shinkansen, is about 16 minutes by car.

Mount Fuji from the garden, Tokyo within the hour.

Private viewings are available by appointment.
