Hirafu Log House in Niseko
The house itself is a two-story wooden log structure with a galvanized steel sheet roof, featuring a total floor area of 81.39 sqm (24.62 tsubo). Originally built in 1989 (the first year of the Heisei era), the building was relocated to its current site in 2009, giving it a unique history. Key equipment and facilities include public water supply and a septic tank (jokaso).
The property is situated in a quasi-city planning area with no specific use district designation, offering flexibility. The building-to-land ratio is 30% and the floor area ratio is 50%. The sale is an intermediary transaction, and the handover date is negotiable. A special point to note is that the property holds a license for the hotel/inn business (ryokan-gyo), making it suitable for rental investment. Two unregistered woodsheds on the premises will be registered by the seller prior to handover at their expense. The location boasts a stunning panoramic view of the Niseko Grand Hirafu Ski Resort.
The surrounding Niseko area is world-renowned for its exceptional powder snow, attracting skiers and snowboarders from across the globe. An interesting fact is that the region's volcanic activity not only creates the perfect snow but also feeds numerous natural hot springs (onsen) scattered throughout the valleys. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Yotei, an almost perfectly symmetrical volcano often referred to as "Ezo Fuji" for its resemblance to Mount Fuji.
