Welcome to Masaya Villa at Izu Peninsula Geopark! Masaya means “happy” in Filipino and it is also short for my name, Masayoshi. I named it so because this is my happy place and I want it to be yours, too. Our three-floor villa is located at the foot of Mt. Omuro and overlooks Sagami Bay, home to 7 of Izu’s islands. All of the private rooms enjoy panoramic views of the bay and islands, which look especially magical at sunrise. Enjoy the place by walking around our garden or taking an onsen bath.

The space
This is a western-style room with two beds and its own balcony with ocean view. You will have access to Hiroshi cafe, where you can make your own coffee and tea, which you can enjoy in your room, outdoor patio or our new viewing terrace.

Guest access
You will be able to access the gardens, Hiroshi Cafe with an outdoor patio, BBQ area and the newly created viewing terrace. We also have a private hot spring onsen that receives hot spring water coming from the depths of Mt. Omuro, available for all our guests to use (please reserve in advance).

Other things to note
Please reserve the private onsen in advance at the cost of Y700 per person. If you're not bringing your own BBQ equipment, please let us know beforehand. We can provide the tools (grill, utensils, table and chairs, and 3kg charcoal) for Y3,950.

Where you’ll be

Itō, Shizuoka, Japan

Masaya Villa is near Izu-Kogen station, the main gateway to Izu. There are charming cafes, shops, museums, galleries and restaurants on my street itself or just a short walk away. Located between the mountain and the sea, you can easily see and go to famous spots such as Jogasaki Coast as well as Mount Omuro, the latter only 3 minute drive or 25 minutes walk from the villa.

I worked over 40 years in a leading engineering consulting company in Japan. I have been to over 100 countries for study, work and pleasure, giving me the opportunity to immerse in cross cultural experiences and develop deeper insights of how other people live.

I retired in 2017 and founded Sunrise View Masaya Villa, a place where one can escape from the bustle of the city and enjoy the luxury of peace and quietude that being close to nature always evokes.

During your stay

After living outside Japan for 35 years, I now split my time between my hometown of Yokohama and my resthouse in Izu. While there may be times that I will not be at Masaya Villa to meet you, when I am there, I look forward to sharing my place with you. Feel free to ask me anything about Japan and Japanese culture; I'd be more than happy to talk about our mutual love for travel—I've been to over 100 countries and counting—over green tea or Japanese beer.
