Niseko Higashiyama Workshop & House: A Unique Commercial Opportunity
This distinctive property, listed as Niseko Higashiyama Workshop & House, presents a rare commercial opportunity in the highly sought-after Niseko area of Hokkaido. Originally built as a cheese factory, the building has been expanded and transformed, offering a versatile space ideally suited for a restaurant or similar business venture. The structure is a two-story wooden building with a zinc-galvanized steel plate roof, constructed in 2005 (Heisei 17) with a second-floor addition completed in 2017 (Heisei 29).
The property's facilities include public water supply, propane gas, and a septic tank toilet system. It sits on a generous 496 sqm plot of land, classified as wilderness, with a total floor area of 186.3 sqm. The location offers excellent access, being approximately a 12-minute drive from JR Hakodate Main Line's Niseko Station. The site is accessed via a public road on the east side and a private forest road managed by Niseko Town on the south side.
The area is part of Niseko's quasi-city planning area and is subject to the Niseko Landscape Ordinance, with a building coverage ratio of 50% and a floor area ratio of 200%. There are no specific land use zoning restrictions, adding to its flexibility. The transaction is handled as an intermediary sale, with the handover date open for consultation.
Niseko is world-renowned for its exceptional powder snow, attracting skiers and snowboarders from across the globe every winter. Beyond winter sports, the region is famous for its stunning natural beauty, including the iconic Mount Yotei, often called "Ezo Fuji" for its resemblance to Mount Fuji. This property, located in the popular Higashiyama district, places a potential business at the heart of one of Hokkaido's premier tourist destinations.
