Set on a hillside in Niseko Town, this property offers a spacious four-bedroom house together with a separate one-bedroom guest cabin, surrounded by 3,727.89 sqm of open countryside.

The property has wide views towards Mt. Yotei, Mt. Annupuri and Mt. Konbu, with pastureland and open fields surrounding the site. Away from the busier resort areas, the setting is quiet and private while still allowing convenient access to the wider Niseko area.

The main house has 279 sqm of floor space, with four bedrooms and a large open-plan living and dining area facing the surrounding landscape. Underfloor heating and air conditioning provide year-round comfort, while the kitchen, dry room and ski valet are suited to both everyday living and winter stays.

A separate one-bedroom cabin with two bathrooms provides additional space for guests, family or staff. Having the accommodation in a separate building also allows the main house to remain private when the cabin is in use.

The property is currently operated as short-term accommodation, giving the next owner the option to continue its existing rental use or make it primarily a private residence. The combination of a large landholding, mountain views and two separate buildings makes this a distinctive property within the Niseko market.

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.
