Description
A peaceful oceanfront home in Yui, Shizuoka — a historic coastal town on the ancient Tokaido road, midway between Tokyo and Kyoto. The apartment sits on the 6th floor of a secure RC building, offering panoramic views of Suruga Bay from the Izu Peninsula to Miho Pine Grove. The dedicated workspace features a 27-inch 4K monitor and fiber Wi-Fi tested at 1.3 Gbps down / 0.7 Gbps up — ideal for research, writing, and video calls. Ideal for visiting scholars, researchers, remote professionals, and writers seeking a calm and inspiring base in Japan. The apartment is fully furnished with a complete starter kit (linens, toiletries, kitchen essentials), fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with tub, in-unit washer/dryer, air conditioning, elevator, and secure entrance. A convenience store and drug store are next door, with a supermarket just a 2-minute walk away. Two bicycles are provided. A 20-minute ride brings you to an unobstructed view of Mt. Fuji; 30 minutes to the legendary Satta Pass — the vista immortalized by Hiroshige. Complimentary pick-up and drop-off at Shin-Fuji Shinkansen Station. Shin-Fuji is a 15-minute taxi ride away, reaching Tokyo Station in about 65 minutes. Day trips to Tokyo are perfectly feasible. This property is personally managed by the host, with a formal rental agreement under Japanese law for a secure and professional arrangement.
