Located in Niseko Annupuri, this modern alpine residence is thoughtfully crafted to celebrate its natural setting across all four seasons. The architectural concept centers on a transparent living and dining pavilion that projects into the forest—blurring the line between inside and out. Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the home with light and captures immersive woodland vistas, while the second-floor family room offers a quiet retreat overlooking the surrounding foliage and snow-covered forest through the year.

The home spans 295.5 m² of interior space across two levels (188 m² on the first floor and 107.5 m² on the second), complemented by a generous 103 m² veranda that extends into the landscape. Optional outdoor enhancements include private terrace space (111 m²) as well as an optional deck and fire pit, enabling effortless entertaining and relaxed après-ski evenings among the trees.

The first floor is designed for gathering and functionality, featuring an expansive open-plan living and dining area, a modern designer kitchen, and seamless flow onto the forest-facing veranda. A guest bedroom and secondary master bedroom provide flexible accommodation, while a dedicated ski room, laundry, grand entrance foyer, and private garage support practical Niseko living.

Upstairs, privacy and views take center stage with the main master suite, two additional bedrooms, and a family room retreat. Optional private terraces expand the sense of space outdoors, with key rooms positioned to capture eastern outlooks toward Mt. Yotei and the surrounding forest garden.

Perfectly positioned for both skiing and year-round enjoyment, the villa is 3 minutes to Annupuri Ski Area and 3 minutes to Moiwa, with convenient access to Higashiyama, Niseko Town, and Hirafu. Nearby landmarks include the Annupuri Gondola, Hilton Niseko Village, Niseko Grand Hotel, Milk Kobo, and a range of restaurants and cafés—making this a standout four-season residence in one of Niseko’s most coveted alpine settings.

FAQ

1. Sales Process

Answer: The process begins with a formal offer (Offer Acceptance). Once accepted, NISADE drafts the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Statement of Important Matters. After signing, the buyer pays a deposit to a solicitor’s trust account. Legal documents like the Power of Attorney (POA) and Affidavit are then executed and notarized to finalize the title transfer at settlement.
Answer: The standard timeline for title transfer and closing in the Niseko area is approximately 4 to 6 weeks, though this can be adjusted based on the agreement between the buyer and seller.
Answer: No. Japan offers 100% freehold ownership rights. There are no legal restrictions on foreigners (individuals or entities) purchasing or owning real estate or land in Japan.

2. Investment & Returns

Answer: Niseko is Japan’s fastest-growing real estate market. It has evolved from Asia’s top winter destination into a year-round resort featuring world-class gastronomy and wellness. Significant institutional investment from global firms continues to drive the region’s development.
Answer: Properties typically see between 90 to 120 days of occupancy per year. Net yields generally range from 1% to 3%, depending on owner usage. Returns can be optimized by ensuring availability during peak periods like Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year.

3. Costs & Taxes

Answer: Buyers should budget approximately 5% of the purchase price for closing costs. This includes solicitor fees, acquisition taxes, stamp duty, and agency commissions (typically 3% + ¥60,000 for secondary market sales).
Answer: Owners are subject to an annual Fixed Asset Tax, calculated at 1.4% of the government-assessed value (usually lower than the market price). Additionally, if the property generates rental income, net profits are subject to Japanese Income Tax.

4. Property Management

Answer: Management typically covers reservation handling, general maintenance, utility bill payments, cleaning, laundry, snow clearing, and comprehensive fiscal/accounting services for the owner.
Answer: Management fees generally total around 35% of the nightly rate (split into a 10% administrative fee and a 25% rental management fee), plus annual fixed maintenance costs.
