This property is one of the only true Ski-in, Ski-out properties available in Niseko. Ski directly into and out of the building; it does not come any more conveniently than this.

Maples 509 is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment boasting some of the best views you can get. Facing Mt Yotei, you get sensational views from the living room and master bedroom.

The two bedrooms offer the option of being made up as king-size beds or split into two singles in each room, giving you the option to sleep 4 separate adults in comfort. The property is equipped with the latest appliances, including a smart TV for all your Netflix needs, a full-size fridge and freezer, and even has a dishwasher for the nights you want to do a home-cooked meal, and of course washer and dryer.

The Maples has been designed to bring out the best that Niseko has to offer. Large windows draw in mesmerizing views and natural light, while the extra ceiling height liberates with a sense of elevated openness. The building has two restaurants and a physiotherapy center to help relieve the tension you have from a long day on the slopes.

Nestled on an amazing site in the popular Hirafu town, the residence opens up on one side directly to the powder ski slope of Ace Family lift, which has just been upgraded to a high-speed quad lift, making it very easy to access the whole mountain. On the other side lines is the lively main street of Hirafu-zaka. Having the luxury of both ski slope and street-side access combines the best of both worlds.

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.
