One of the very few true ski-in, ski-out residences in Niseko, Maples offers unmatched convenience. Ski directly into and out of the building — it simply doesn’t get better than this.

Maples 508 is a beautifully appointed 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom apartment. One of the rooms is a traditional Japanese tatami style room with its own bathroom.

Both main bedrooms can be configured as king-size beds or split into twin singles, comfortably accommodating up to four adults. The third bedroom can be made up with futons for two extra people. The apartment is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a smart TV for streaming, a full-size refrigerator and freezer, dishwasher, and in-room washer and dryer — ideal for longer stays or relaxed evenings at home.

Designed to highlight the very best of Niseko living, The Maples features expansive windows, generous ceiling heights, and an airy, refined atmosphere. Onsite amenities include two restaurants and a physiotherapy center, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes.

Set in a premier location in the heart of Hirafu, the building opens directly onto the Ace Family ski run — serviced by a newly upgraded high-speed quad lift — providing effortless access to the entire mountain. On the opposite side lies Hirafu-zaka, the resort’s vibrant main street, lined with dining, shopping, and nightlife. This rare combination of slope-side serenity and town-side energy delivers 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.
