Overview

THE CAPE is a private rental villa in Irago, Tahara City, Aichi. You stay at the southern edge of the Atsumi Peninsula, close to Irago Ferry Terminal, with views toward Irago Bay and the sea air all around you.

You rent the whole property, giving you private use of the house, garden, pool, bath space, sauna, kitchen, living areas, and outdoor spaces. The stay is built around privacy, design, art, the ocean view, and time spent with the people you came with.

THE CAPE suits you when you want a spacious coastal stay with a full kitchen, BBQ, private pool, sauna, large bath, indoor fireplace, outdoor fire pit, tatami room, games, and easy access to the beach. You can spend the day surfing, walking the coast, fishing, cooking, relaxing by the pool, or simply watching the sky and sea change from the house.

Accommodation

You stay in the entire villa, so the space is fully private to your group. The house has a modern Japanese-style design, open living space, art pieces, ocean views, garden areas, and indoor and outdoor spaces made for spending time together.

The official linked listing shows the villa as an entire home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and space for up to 10 people. Bedroom 1 has one queen bed. Bedroom 2 has two queen beds and floor mattresses. Bedroom 3 has futon bedding, and the living room also includes sofa and futon sleeping options.

The house includes a full kitchen, dining space, living areas, Japanese tatami room, large bathroom, sauna, pool, outdoor shower, and beach access. You can cook, gather around the table, relax on the deck, listen to records or Bluetooth speakers, play board games, or warm up by the indoor fireplace.

Because this is a whole-house rental, the stay feels very different from a room-based hotel. You do not move through shared hotel corridors or follow a fixed ryokan schedule. You settle in as if the villa belongs to you for the stay.

Dining

Dining at THE CAPE is self-catered, so you decide what to eat and when to eat. The villa has a full kitchen, letting you bring ingredients, prepare meals, and enjoy food at your own pace.

You can visit local markets, buy fresh seafood, bring produce from the Atsumi Peninsula, and cook in the kitchen or enjoy BBQ outdoors. Irago is known for fresh seafood, long coastlines, and local produce, so the setting works well when you want a meal that feels connected to the area.

BBQ can be arranged as an added option. The linked listing notes that BBQ rental should be booked in advance, and local ingredients can be prepared when arranged ahead of time. You can also use the outdoor fire pit for a more relaxed evening atmosphere.

Onsen and Wellness

THE CAPE has Sodium/calcium chloride hot spring. There is also Hot Tub with Irago Hot Spring Water.

Guests with tattoos

If you have tattoos, you can stay without concern. Because you rent the entire property, all bathing facilities are used privately by your group.

Facilities

The hotel offers facilities that support a relaxed coastal stay. Shared lounges and common areas give you space to sit and enjoy views outside the bathing area. Free Wi-Fi is available in rooms and public spaces when you need to stay connected.

Dining spaces, vending machines, and practical conveniences remain easy to access throughout the property. The layout stays straightforward, prioritizing movement, views, and comfort rather than elaborate interiors.

Activities

You can spend most of your stay inside and around the villa. Swim in the pool, use the sauna, cook in the kitchen, enjoy BBQ, sit by the fire pit, play games, listen to music, or relax in the garden with the sea nearby.

The surrounding Irago area gives you plenty to do outside the villa. You can walk to the beach, go surfing, visit the coast, buy seafood from the local market, try fishing from the pier, or explore nearby coastal paths.

Cape Irago Lighthouse is one of the main nearby sights. You can walk along the coastline trail, enjoy views of the Pacific Ocean, Ise Bay, and Mikawa Bay, and take in the open feeling of the tip of the Atsumi Peninsula.

The area also works well for local produce experiences. You can enjoy strawberry picking in winter, melon picking in summer, flower fields in winter, spring, and summer, and coastal drives through the Atsumi Peninsula.

Irago Seaside Golf Club is about 1 km from THE CAPE, making the villa useful if you want to add golf to your stay. You can also take the ferry from Irago for a day trip toward Toba and the Ise-Shima area.

Additional features

Because THE CAPE sits at the edge of the peninsula, conditions at sea strongly influence your stay. Clear days bring sweeping views across the water, while cloudy or windy weather creates a more dramatic coastal atmosphere. Each season changes the character of the landscape, giving repeat visits a different feel.

If you want a stay defined by ocean views, coastal hot spring bathing, and regional cuisine, THE CAPE offers a place where the sea becomes the central part of your experience.
