Jibuzaka Village Villa Community: Announcement of New Services

As the height of summer arrives, the clear blue skies of the highlands feel especially dazzling.
We sincerely thank you for your continued use of the Jibuzaka Village (formerly "Retreat") villa management services.

To make your villa life even more comfortable, we are pleased to introduce the following newly operational facilities and services starting this July. We hope you will take full advantage of them.

Website Launch – July 1st

We’re excited to announce that our new website will go live on July 1st. You’ll be able to find all the latest updates, news, and helpful information right here.

New Services Starting in July

New Garbage Station Announcement
The new garbage station that was previously announced has now been completed. It is located on the right-hand side of the building just after turning off National Route 153 (see Photo ①).
It is scheduled to be equipped with an electronic lock, but during the transition period (about one week), it will be freely accessible.
The access code will be provided separately.
A separate document with guidelines for sorting garbage, such as draining food waste, is attached. We kindly ask for your cooperation so that everyone can use the facility comfortably.
To improve the landscape of the villa area, the old garbage bins that were previously used have been removed.

Please note: the office is closed on Wednesdays and open from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM on other days. For requests regarding waste collection, please continue to contact the office as usual.

Summer Weed Cutting Schedule

Regular weed cutting will take place throughout July and August. Please keep this in mind when planning your outdoor activities.

Thank you for your cooperation, and stay tuned for more updates.

Car wash Service “Jibu Jabu”


A professional hand car wash service will begin at the office (formerly the Aisin Yuyu-kan building).
(Reservation required; price list is attached separately.)
Your car will be carefully washed by skilled professionals.
Keep your beloved car sparkling clean in the refreshing highlands.
Special owner-only pricing is available.
