Set within the sought-after Orchards Niseko, Shiroyama is an impressive five-bedroom chalet offering generous living spaces, beautiful mountain views and easy access to Hirafu.

Completed in 2017 and spanning approximately 429 m², the home has been designed around a spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in abundant natural light while framing views through the surrounding forest toward Mt. Yotei, Mt. Annupuri and the Grand Hirafu ski slopes.

The large kitchen and island form the centre of the home, providing plenty of space for entertaining family and friends. A separate second living and media room offers additional space to relax, while the Japanese-style bath provides the perfect place to unwind after a day on the mountain.

Positioned on a substantial 1,326 m² landholding, Shiroyama offers considerably more space and privacy than many Niseko resort properties while remaining just minutes from Hirafu’s ski lifts, restaurants and amenities.

As part of The Orchards Niseko, owners also benefit from an established resort community with on-site services and convenient access to everything Niseko has to offer throughout both winter and summer.

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.
