Naminooto TerraceFUTTSU, CHIBA — JAPAN
Open living and dining room with ocean views of Tokyo Bay
Best rate on the official site GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2024

The ocean, a sauna,
and time that's all yours.

Award-winning private villa overlooking Tokyo Bay
1 min to the beach, 50 min from Tokyo

CONCEPT

By the sea, where only the waves can be heard —
take a sauna, watch the ocean, gather around the fire.

About 50 minutes by car from central Tokyo and a one-minute walk from the beach, this architect-designed villa won a 2024 Good Design Award. Windows that reach the ceiling frame Tokyo Bay from a soaring, open living room, furnished with high-end pieces chosen for the space — solid timber and fine furniture in quiet balance. Outside there's a barrel sauna, a covered BBQ space and a lawn for putting golf. The whole house is yours — up to 7 guests, perfect for families and groups of friends.

FAQ

FAQ

The villa is unstaffed — how does check-in work?

There is no on-site manager. After you book, we send you a guest registration form; once it is completed we send your check-in instructions, including the door keypad number.
Japanese lodging law requires every guest to complete the form, and guests without Japanese nationality also need to upload a passport.
Please complete it no later than 5 days before your stay. Check-in is between 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and check-out is by 10:00 AM. The villa is unstaffed and uses self check-in: register your guest details in advance and we will send you the door code. Please let us know ahead of time if you will arrive after 9 PM. Early check-in, late check-out and luggage storage are not available.

Can we have a BBQ?

Yes — the covered, lit BBQ space in the garden is free to use with no reservation, and works even in light rain. Grill, net, tongs, fire pot, table and chairs are provided. Please bring your own food, seasonings, charcoal and fire starter. BBQ on the terrace is not permitted due to strong sea winds.

Is there an extra charge for the sauna?

The barrel sauna is ¥11,000 (tax included) per group, with no advance reservation needed. Pay by QR code at the sauna and the unlock number appears on screen. It is available throughout your stay, from check-in to check-out, except overnight between 9 PM and 7 AM. Please wear a swimsuit.

Are children welcome?

Absolutely. Please note that the stairs on the second floor and the loft have only simple railings, so keep an eye on small children.

Does the price change with the number of guests?

The base rate covers up to 4 guests. From the 5th guest onward, an extra ¥8,000 per person applies. The base rate varies by season, so please select your dates and party size on the availability page to see the exact price.
Children aged 1 and over on the check-in date count as guests, the same as adults, and there is no separate child rate. Only infants under 1 stay free.

What is the cancellation policy?
