The Maples Niseko 509 – Premium Ski-In / Ski-Out Apartment with Mt. Yotei Views

Maples 509 presents a rare opportunity to own one of Niseko’s limited true ski-in / ski-out residences, offering unmatched convenience and exceptional alpine living in the heart of Hirafu.

Positioned directly on the ski slope, owners and guests can ski straight into and out of the building — a level of access that is increasingly rare and highly sought after within Niseko.

This beautifully appointed two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment boasts some of the finest views available in the area, with spectacular panoramic outlooks towards Mt. Yotei enjoyed from both the living room and master bedroom.

Designed with flexibility and guest comfort in mind, both bedrooms can be configured as either king-sized beds or split into twin singles, comfortably accommodating up to four adults.

The apartment is fully equipped with modern appliances and conveniences throughout, including:

  • Smart TV with Netflix capability
  • Full-size refrigerator and freezer
  • Dishwasher
  • Washer and dryer
  • Contemporary kitchen and living spaces

The Maples Niseko has been thoughtfully designed to showcase the very best of alpine living. Expansive windows maximise natural light while framing the surrounding mountain scenery, and elevated ceiling heights create a spacious and airy atmosphere throughout the residence.

Residents and guests also benefit from premium on-site facilities including two restaurants and a physiotherapy centre — perfect for relaxing and recovering after a day on Niseko’s world-famous slopes.

This is an outstanding opportunity to secure a premium slope-side residence within one of Niseko’s most desirable ski developments.

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 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.
