Kabayama Trio | Family Home with Two Independent Rental Units Near Hirafu

Located in the peaceful Kabayama neighbourhood, just a short drive from Hirafu, Kabayama Trio offers a unique opportunity to own a modern family home with two additional self-contained units, combining comfortable Niseko living with potential rental income.

Built in 2016 but extension in 2020, the property features three independent living spaces under one roof: a spacious two-bedroom main residence, a ground-floor studio and an upper-floor one-bedroom apartment. This flexible configuration makes it ideal for buyers seeking a personal holiday home while generating rental income, accommodating extended family or exploring a combination of personal and investment use.

The main residence features a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, creating a welcoming space for family gatherings and entertaining. Large living spaces connect directly to an outdoor entertaining area and garden, providing an inviting setting for summer barbecues and relaxing after a day on the mountain. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom offer privacy and comfort, while a separate ground-floor toilet adds everyday convenience.

Both additional units have their own private entrances, allowing them to operate independently from the main residence. The ground-floor studio provides practical accommodation for guests or potential short-term rentals, while the upper-floor one-bedroom apartment is well suited to couples, visiting family or longer stays. This arrangement offers owners the flexibility to enjoy their own home while potentially earning income from the other two units, subject to applicable rental licensing and regulations.

Designed for year-round living in Hokkaido, the property also includes a built-in single-car garage with an automatic electric door, offering convenient winter parking and additional storage for skis, snowboards and outdoor equipment.

Situated approximately two minutes by car from Hirafu, Kabayama Trio provides easy access to Niseko’s ski lifts, restaurants and amenities while enjoying a quieter residential setting. Nearby Lupicia adds further convenience, with dining and delicatessen options close to home. The surrounding area also offers year-round outdoor activities, including skiing, hiking, cycling and golf.

With its modern construction, versatile layout and attractive location, Kabayama Trio presents an opportunity for buyers looking for a Niseko residence that combines lifestyle flexibility with potential rental returns.

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.
